The day started with a one hour bus journey from Brodick to Blackwaterfoot along scenic roads including the Bogville pass and a little too many humps for our liking. On arrival Hannah from COAST (Community Of Arran Seabed Trust) asked us to make some model beach art sculptures which featured:
 |
| Sam the Seal |
 |
| Sid the Starfish |
 |
| Seb the Seahorse | | | | |
|
and ...
 |
| Trevor the Turtle |
By ten am the families descended upon Blackwaterfoot beach and began making sandcastles and even a sand whale. After this thrilling event we began searching the rock pools for marine creatures. Our findings included hermit crabs, jellyfish, whelks, periwinkle and swans (not in the rock pools)

We then went on a beautiful coastal stroll towards Kings caves. We were inspired by the beauty and history of this natural structure.
The day ended with a turbulent, crowded but picturesque bus journey back to Brodick.
