In this 'On the Road' episode we are on Arran and I talk to Kirstie Smith about island life and her fantastic local hills. We chat about running and scrambling routes, mountain rescue, bivvies and even astrophotography.

Kirstie Smith is @kirstiesarran on Instagram and Twitter and her photography is @afocusforadventure on Instagram.

Her photography website is www.afocusforadventure.co.uk (you can email her via website to buy photos or her book)

We refer to:

Goatfell race (See Scottish Hill Runners or Racing), Glen Rosa Horseshoe race (no longer runs), and Ultra Trail Scotland (flagged) races - 45km and 26km routes. 

'The Big Walks' by Ken Wilson and an astrology app called 'Stellarium PLUS' were mentioned.
