Researched background and planning context, separate from our original caption.
Why 'Scotland in miniature'?
The Highland Boundary Fault divides Arran's older northern rocks from younger rocks in the south, echoing the geological contrast between mainland Highlands and Lowlands.

Today, Arran is part of the UNESCO Global Geoparks network, recognised for its geological sites alongside its landscapes, habitats and cultural heritage. This is its current status, checked in October 2026, rather than a claim about the date of our trip.
