Creator's Key Takeaways

The Isle of Arran is often called Scotland in miniature. So a small version of Scotland and the reason being that it's got a lot of the beauty you'd find around Scotland

You can see wildlife, you can see beautiful landscapes. So, it's fantastic and highly recommended.

I think that's something that's obviously not typical to a holiday, but highly highly satisfying to do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

The forest safari excursion in Arran is fantastic value despite being an additional cost.

YouTube Video Description

From ancient castles to wild coastlines, we're setting sail on an expedition cruise around the Scottish Isles with HX Expeditions - and it starts with two islands that deserve far more attention than they get. Day one takes us to the Isle of Arran, where we explore the historic Brodick Castle and head deep into the forest on a wildlife safari with Mogabout - keeping an eye out for hares and buzzards along the way. Day two brings us to Islay, where a dramatic coastal walk reveals why this island has more deer than people, before HX Expeditions ambassador and TV personality Monty Halls leads a beach clean on one of the island's stunning shorelines. This is expedition cruising - but not as you know it. Stay tuned for Part 2!
