📌 Sannox, Isle of Arran
★★
Sannox is a quiet sort of place, consisting of little more than a row of whitewashed cottages and an old pier with a solitary sheep sculpture, presumably lost from the rest of its flock at Corrie. The village does, however, enjoy priority access to one of Arran’s few sandy beaches. This is reached by stepping stones across the Sannox Burn, and offers views to the rocky hills either side of Glen Sannox and across the sea to the Isle of Bute on a clear day. From the far (north) end of the beach, follow the coast path a short distance further to view an impressive overhanging cliff, which looks like it could be a thrilling rock climbing spot.
