Take the promenade to College Street just past the Garrison and turn left. After a short distance, you will see the Cathedral of the Isles on the right. Proceed uphill towards the Lady Margaret Hospital, and at the fork in the road, go left past Breakough Farm. As you walk up the hill, on the right you will see the Lady Margaret Hospital snuggled in beside the trees. Further up the hill you will come to a bench seat beside a farm gate. From here you can see the golf course, the Little Cumbrae, the Sleeping Warrior range of hills on Arran, Bute and panoramic views of the Firth of Clyde. From this point for about a mile, there are unforgettable views of the Clyde and surrounding area.

At the top of the island at the Glaidstane there is an indicator point illustrating landmarks in all directions. Continue downhill, past Figgitoch Farm and the former Mineral Drinking Well and with Largs and Skelmorlie to the left, turn right at the junction on to the Ferry Road and arrive at the promenade at Kames Bay, with Ailsa Craig on the horizon. A splendid country walk offering outstanding views of Arran and the surrounding area.
