Cliff Cottage in the village of Corrie on the Isle of Arran
New to the holiday cottage market in June 2013, this nineteenth century cottage is located on the seafront in the picturesque coastal village of Corrie, six miles north of Brodick. Corrie is one of the island's most attractive villages, with its mixture of white, traditional cottages and houses built of locally quarried sandstone.
The cottage is on the seafront and has wonderful views across the Firth of Clyde and towards the Ayrshire Coast and the islands of Bute and Cumbrae. It has been in the Logan family since it was built by the current owner's great, great grandfather and has just undergone a complete renovation during the last year.
Cliff Cottage is situated in the heart of the village in an 'Article 4' Conservation Area between the small harbour, 'The Port' and the church. It is roughly 100 metres from the harbour and play area and within easy walking distance of the hotel and craft/coffee shop in the village. It is a short walk from the path to Goatfell and is within easy access of Sannox Beach, Corrie Golf Course and pony trekking.
The cottage is just a few metres from the shore and has a walled garden at the other side of the narrow coastal road which runs through the village. It also has an enclosed paved area to the front of the house.

Kintyre Way 2011 - Part 7
This was our final day on the Kintyre Way and our intention was to end the walk on the tidal island of Davaar (at low tide the Dhorlin appears thereby connecting it to the peninsula). Unfortunately, the tide times clashed with our return flights home so we've left that and the remote continuation to Dunaverty for another time.
The village of Saddell lies in the arm of its wood where time and indeed most of the traffic seem to pass it by. Here, in 1158, the body of Somerled (the only Scot and King of the Isles to defeat the Vikings at sea) was, by repute, laid to rest. Mind you, he was half-Norse! It was bleak when we arrived there on our Day 5 on the Kintyre Way.
The route instructions are quoted thus: -
On Saddell Bay is Saddell Castle, a 16th century tower house now owned by The Landmark Trust, while just to the left and over the small bridge is a wonderful fine pebble beach, where the video of Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre was filmed. After a steep, short brae, the main route leaves the road for a long forest section heading west for 8km to Lussa Loch. This part of the route is all on good tracks and is easy walking, You continue south along the west shore of the very scenic Lussa Loch, noted for its bird life and rainbow trout. The loch was formed in the 1950s as part of a reservoir scheme. A spur leads from the north end of the loch over to Bellochantuy, where accommodation is available. From the south end of the loch, another spur leads east to Peninver. The main route continues south along an attractive minor road with numerous twists and turns as it wriggles through the undulating landscape. On Ballywilline Hill, east of the route, is a substantial hill fort. The A83 is followed for the final kilometre or so into Campbeltown, where the route runs down to the harbour.
Out of 5-days walking on the Kintyre Way the stretch into Campbeltown from Carradale could do with a lot more thought I'm afraid. Who want would want to walk along forestry roads then along a single track metal road used predominantly by farm vehicles the exact width of the road? Pretty poor to say the least. Really boring actually and its certainly not hillwalking. A real disappointment. That should simply be left as an alternative route for this particular day and a proper hillwalking route established. Now that shouldn't be too difficult eh?
Essentially this was our last day on the Way for this trip and if you had to pick one day to get a good soaking then this unspectacular walk would most certainly be it. One thing you do notice along the Way is the number of empty buildings when a walk like this is crying out for bothies and bunkhouses. Take note someone eh. The Kintyre Way claims to be Scotland's newest (it is) and most scenic long distance walk (which is isn't ). The West Highland Way is the most scenic walk in Scotland and the Rob Roy Way because of all its natural features (Falls of Dochart, the secretive Falls of Acharn and the famous Birks of Aberfeldy) is possibly the most dramatic. When you walk through the cave and view the Falls of Acharn - that is dramatic {see Rob Roy Way videos on this channel}.
That said, we had a fantastic trip in Kintyre but would never consider walking over to Skipness again and you couldn't honestly even pay me to walk the Kintyre route from Carradale to Campbeltown again as it presently exists. Theres been a lot of hard work done on upgrading the Way and it is noticeable. The waymaking is complete and the mileages on them is a clever touch. Information boards abound. From the effort thats been put in the Way deserves to be a success and of course theres loads more to see on the peninsula as well. It does have its scenic moments - particularly if you catch the sunset on Jura as we did from Clachan (the Part 2 vid).
Campbeltown retains its nickname of 'The Wee Toon' and the Memorial Garden at the Council building is a fine tribute to Linda McCartney. [The Memorial Garden soundtrack is 'Say Goodbye']. Campbeltown is the largest town in Kintyre, with a population of approx 6,000 and is accordingly well supplied with shops, accommodation and other facilities. At the pier head is the lovely old Campbeltown Cross, originally erected in Kilkivan in about 1380. It was moved to Campbeltown in 1609 when the town became a burgh and was used as a market cross. There is a very good local history museum, with outstanding examples of Neolithic pottery, and also a Heritage Centre in an old church. Campbeltown has long been famous as a centre for whisky making and at one time has no fewer than 34 distilleries. Only three remain -- Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengoyle. Springbank may be visited by prior arrangement for approx £6.00 pp. And then theres the local cheese . .].
