Machrie Golf Course
Even if the golf's not good, there are great views to enjoy! This shot is taken from the eighth green looking towards the clubhouse and across the Kilbrannan sound to the Mull of Kintyre

Milestone 31/30?, Machrie, Isle of Arran
Arran's circular road and The String road contain a total of approximately 50 red sandstone milestones, marking, I believe, the miles round the island. There is a book, 'The Milestones of Arran' by Ruth and Alan Thompson, dedicated to them, listing not only the view from each, but also details of flora and fauna to be found at each location.
Some of the milestones were difficult to locate whilst driving in the rain, others were damaged and some appeared to be missing. I have added those that I could safely stop at and those that I could find.
I'm not sure whether this is No. 31 or 30 because of the confusion with No. 32's location and because I had to give up after this one, due to heavy rain.
It is situated by the Machrie Bay golf course and parking is easy in the car park for the Machrie Bay Tearoom. Oystercatcher was seen.

Old milestone
Another of the stones on the coast, west, side of the road. It is opposite Machrie Moor Golf Course tearooms. A red sandstone back was cemented on in 1999 to replace a piece broken off in the 1980s.

Cycling and golf
Arran is popular with both cyclists and golfers.
For cyclists a circuit of the island, particularly with an ascent of the String Road, presents an enjoyable tour - or training exercise.
For golfers there are a number of golf courses in various seaside locations - here at Machrie Bay.
