  Holy Isle is on the Firth of Clyde within Lamlash Bay on the larger island of Arran. The island is approx. 1.9 miles (3km) long and around half a mile (1km) wide. As the name suggests the island has a long history as a sacred site, with a spring or Holy well thought to have healing properties, a hermit cave of 6th Century monk Saint Molaise that has runic writing of the roof, and evidence of a 13th Century monastery. The island today is owned by the Samyé Ling Buddhist Community with just a couple of settlements. The rest of the island is treated as a nature reserve with wild Eriskay ponies, Saanen goat and Soay sheep. The rare Rock Whitebeam tree can be found on the Holy island.

  Goat Fell is the highest peak on the Isle of Arran, Aryshire, Scotland. The peak is at 874 metres (2,866 ft), and is one of the four Corbetts (mountains in Scotland between 2500 and 3000 feet high) on the island. Goatfell is a very popular peak and there are a choice of ascent routes, with the most common and easy route taking a constructed path of approximately 3 miles (5 km) that starts from nearby Brodick Castle in Cladach. The start takes you through forested grounds of the castle, then at approx. 1,000 ft (300 m) the path moves from forest into bare moorland, reaching the summit by way of the east ridge of the mountain. There is a viewpoint table at the summit and on a good clear day Ireland may be seen.
