BOB HIND is back on his travels this month, casting a professional eye on what he finds as he begins a five-part ride around 15 Scottish islands on the Clyde communities of Bute, Great Cumbrae and Arran — all before a connecting bus leaves him high and dry in an isolated corner of mainland Kintyre
Stagecoach West Scotland 39001 (SN15 AAE), one of eight Wright StreetLite DFs operated on Arran for Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, at Lochranza on North Island route 324 from Brodick to Blackwaterfoot. The remains of Lochranza Castle are in the background, at the head of the sea loch.
