Firth of Clyde
Expansive views of the estuary as you depart Glasgow, often dotted with ferries and sailing vessels.
Isle of Bute
The southern coastline of Bute, featuring the grounds of the Victorian Gothic Mount Stuart House.
Goat Fell
The highest point on Arran, offering a jagged, majestic silhouette that dominates the horizon.
The Sleeping Warrior
The famous mountain profile of northern Arran, which resembles a resting knight.
Lamlash Bay
A glimpse of the sheltered bay and the spiritual Holy Isle just off the coast of Arran.
Choose the left side for the most iconic Scottish island scenery. On clear days, the late afternoon sun casts long shadows over the Arran peaks, emphasizing their rugged texture. Since this is a low-altitude flight, keep your camera ready from the moment you cross the coast at Ardrossan.
