Walks 11 and 12
The '337 wooden steps' have been replaced by an easier zigzag path and
steps. A route has been waymarked that avoids retracing steps downhill,
allowing walkers to continue to Glenashdale Falls.

Walk 12
Beyond Loch na Leirg, the route encounters problems in the forest. Some
parts are overgrown, while other parts have been felled, but not cleared,
making it awkward to continue the walk.

Error in the August 2011 printing

Owing to a production error the beginning of the section in the Introduction on 'Island Animals' is missing from this printing. The first paragraph on page 25 should read as follows:

Island Animals

Arran is an island, so on the way there keep a look out for occasional small whales or dolphins which might be seen from the ferry, and note that seals can be seen basking on rocky and bouldery parts of the shore all around the island.
