We cannot keep away from The Isle of Arran and this year joined it with a second stay on the Isle of Arran in two very fine properties. On Arran we stayed at Glen Sannox in a detached family owned cottage standing in its own grounds by the seashore. It is a property Ken has known over 50 years but never visited – just admired. The Barra bungalow was a specially chosen holiday home in the exact location we wanted fronting the famous cockleshell beach where the plane lands once or twice a day.
