Glenscorrodale Arran

[Husk]

Has anyone drawn this beat on Arran, or been on there? I'm finding it hard to find any info on the area..

I've been on it once, make sure you're very fit!

Some amazing vantage points when you get up the top and the deer come out of the woods

When it's clear it's amazing

I was fit and that hill nearly broke me

It’s on the Ross road, west of Lamlash.
There are new access roads in place now, so a bit easier to get about than it was previously.

@wytonpjs was on the hinds there last season.

The access roads on the North are a godsend. The new forest road to the South still requires a drag up the hill but as others have said it’s worth it I understand. When I shot this beat, my partner and I only did the Northern side. Sat at the airport about to go to Oz so unable to provide more at present.

To add to the above, we were also given the Kilpatrick beat too so spent time between that and the North portion of Glenscorodale. It’s worth it to get to the open heath towards Shedog - there’s a lovely clearing there that I took in, we saw numerous other deer and colleagues who shot the same beat on stag week 4 just gone did well up there too There’s some “frost snap” damage that drops the top part of the trees making it difficult to get through but it’s worth it. Think Louisianna swamp with banjos playing, moss hanging from the trees and you’ll have a good idea of the terrain
