Two American Hunters discover a mystical village in Scotland that only materializes once every century! 1954
In all likelihood, my passion for all things Scottish was somewhat influenced by this movie. There's a beautiful song sung by Gene Kelly & Cyd Charisse titled, Heather on the Hill (If you are interested in hearing it, just go to You Tube and type in the song's title) that came to my mind on this last day in Arran.
We left Croc Cottage by 9:30 with plans in mind to visit Brodick Castle. Which we did, as you can see from these pictures.

Brodick Castle is a castle
situated outside the port
of Brodick on the Isle of Arran, an island
in the Firth of Clyde,
Scotland. It was
previously a seat of the Dukes of Hamilton, but is
now owned by the National Trust
for Scotland.

We left the castle and made one more stop at a rustic museum and while Sheperd played we enjoyed a tasty picnic at the tables provided.
 |
| Right behind where we had our picnic was this lovely stream. I didn't wade but I did capture this picture. |
 |
| The mountain in the background is Goatfell. Highest peak on Arran. |
Now we piled into the van, and embarked upon our last drive around the island. And here is where I finally saw the heather on the hill! August turned out to be a good time to see the heather in bloom.
