Arran is easily accessible from the centre of Yorkshire in twelve 

 hours, via Ardrossan, and a fortnight can be spent there very well 

 ■without exhausting all the points of interest. There is one large 

 hotel at Brodick ; in the other villages hotel accommodation is limited, 

 but as far as our experience went, it was clean and comfortable. The 

 summit of Goatfell (about 3000 feet) is the highest point in the island, 

 and from it we get extensive views of the mainland and the Isles of 

 Bute on one side, and on the other the Mull of Cantyre and (on fine 

 days) the Irish coast. Goatfell can be ascended from Brodick in two 

 hours and a half. Should I go again, I should endeavour to make a 

 better acquaintance with the west side of the island, which I hardly 

 know. Catacol would make a good point to .start from, and then 

 work down the coast by Blackwater Foot and round by Whiting Bay 

 and Lamlash. I have no doubt that there is much to be done entomo-
