Goat Fell stands at 874 metres (2,866 feet), making it the tallest peak on the Isle of Arran and a favourite destination for hikers every year. The last 200 metres of the climb require extra caution, as the terrain is steep and rocky, and the path may be hidden during winter. However, the breathtaking views from the summit are a rewarding payoff for those who take on the challenge. On a clear day, you can spot Ben Lomond, Jura and even the coastline of Ireland.
Please stick to the paths and leave no trace of your visit.
Difficulty: Strenuous – a rough mountain path which can be indistinct near the top
