Rail and Sail is a partnership between Scotrail and CalMac which makes it super easy (and affordable) to get from the heart of Glasgow to the solitude and beauty of the Scottish Islands - join me today on a trip 'soon the watter' following in the footsteps of holidaymakers from yesteryear as I head to the biggest of the Firth of Clyde islands. And what a place it is!
Please note this isn't a review of the Isle of Arran (I was only there for a couple of hours) but it certainly gives a glimpse of its beauty and shows how easy it is to escape the city and find yourself in a different world!
