Luke’s Holiday

I am a 10 year old boy from Morecambe who came to visit the Isle of Arran for four days at the end of May with my grandparents. I camped at Lochranza and here is a list of all the things I saw in four days. It was amazing!

Saw seals sitting on rocks

Eagles flying above hills

Caught two fish near Pirnmill, called them Ant and Dec, put them back to swim away

Oystercatchers and other sea birds

Sea anenomes and crabs

Birds nesting and baby chicks visible feeding near campsite

Went pony trekking which was amazing, my pony was called Nemo!

Sure saw a shark!

Deer, lots of them, every day a few were around the campsite and on the road

Viking long boat at Whiting Bay

Submarine at Kildonan

Destroyer at Kildonan

Swan was sitting with her eggs under her at Lochranza Bay

Most exciting thing I saw was a SNAKE!!! It was a Black Adder, very big, in the ferns near Cock of Arran

Saw all these things in four days, coming again next year.
