Rotarians around Arran

In an unusual joint event, 24 Rotarians ranging in age from 23 to 84 years walked the entire circuit on Saturday 3 May. Most were from the Rotary Club of Stirling, joined by 8 members of the Arran club, the walk coinciding with the official publication date of our guidebook. The event raised a total of £500 for the Arran Coastal Way Support Group.
