Fungi growing in Arran’s temperate rainforest
15th October 2026

Supporting Arran Rainforest CIC

Three collaborative art workshops connecting temperate rainforest around Arran and projects to protect it took place this month and we were delighted to support alongside Independent Arts Projects.

Talks, creative sessions outside and exploration of the amazing life forms in our rainforests here on Arran were enjoyed by lots of participants from Arran and beyond. Rainforest fragments near Kilmory, Drumadoon and at Merkland Wood were explored, along with the neolithic human connections to this amazing landscape.

If you are interested in keeping in touch about temperate rainforest conservation on Arran, please email to join the mailing list: arranrainforest@gmail.com

Your island

About the Isle of Arran, Scotland

Only two hours from Glasgow, and often called ‘Scotland in miniature’.

Activities & Adventure

Arran boasts activities for all tastes. To the north you can walk in the mountains of the Goatfell range. In the south you can bike around forest tracks, or walk along miles of peaceful beaches or visit cascading waterfalls. You can get out onto the sea by kayak or join a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) tour. If your preference is for something calmer Arran hosts seven golf courses — each with stunning views.
