Isle of Arran: Brodick

A visit to Arran in October 2008

Sadly it rained most of the day but I managed to take a few photos during the dry bits!

Getting closer - a wonderful experience!

Brodick Harbour - almost every kind of transport!

    Have you seen the new plans for James Watt Dock?

  3. Thanks for this link Gerry. That's terrible really, I had no idea there were such extensive plans. It will be a real eyesore. How Greenock has changed - I'm amazed by some of the other plans I've heard about as well. Is there any news about what's being built on the old Jarvis Hotel site in Gourock? I know there were horrible plans for multi-storey flats which would be an eye-sore from across the water too. Hope you get across to Arran at Easter and the weather improves soon too!
