From Food Forest to Rainforest
- posted 8th May 2026

Supporting temperate rainforest conservation in Scotland
 
Layer upon layer of life - there’s a close connection between our food forest gardening and temperate rainforests. Packed with green and abundant with life, from the huge to the microscopic, both support climate resilience, sustain biodiversity and are just magical environments to be in.
 
For those new to temperate rainforests, they are even rarer than their tropical counterparts. They occur in areas with high rainfall and humidity, low annual temperature variation and an oceanic climate. The western side of the UK should be covered, but now only fragments of this unique ecosystem remain.
 
Characterised by lush woodland covered with ferns, lichens and mosses, our UK rainforests are home to many rare birds, insects and plants.
 
Here on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, we are fortunate to have a few fragments of this amazing ecosystem left, but it is being eroded by land use changes, herbivore predation and invasive species of plants. It needs help. We have set up a community organisation to help conserve it and spread the word about this precious ecosystem on our doorstep.
 
Kilmory Glen near us has beautiful temperate rainforest patches, with some rare hazel wood rainforest and the internationally rare Hazel Gloves fungus. Linking with local experts and enthusiasts, together we hope to help preserve this and perhaps expand its areas, so future generations can also cherish this special ecosystem.

Mountain walks
- posted 18th April 2026

Come and enjoy our amazing mountains from

  • the easy to access viewpoint car parks along the roads and cafe windows, to relax and admire the stunning views
  • the gentler glen walks with rivers, wildlife and singing birds to accompany you and beautiful pools for a dip if you’re feeling brave, or from
  • scaling the heights of some of Arran’s challenging peaks
There’s high volcanic mountains in the north and gentler rounded peaty hills in the south, as Arran is along the Scottish fault line and really is Scotland in miniature. Discover waterfalls, neolithic history and breathtaking views.
 
More details on many great walks can be found at: Walkhighlands - Arran
