Its named after the geographic place, cos of a misspent youth . returned there for honeymoon [censored] years ago!
 
That's lucky because the other is only a beginners blend and has "....a smooth peatiness leading to a long smoky finish".

I've always thought that peat was another word for manure. So this blend has a smoked horse-shyte flavour.
 
Doesn't life rush by? That picture brought back memories of walking there from Brodick, then down for a night, then the ferry the next night from Lochranza and another brisk walk across the Mull, then two more ferries and a couple of days walking up Jura. Then I realised it was 25 years ago! No wonder I don't feel like it now.
 
Still recall the brutal off widths on West Flank Route .. Arran granite at is best is the equal of anything!
 
You're right - it's really something else. Apart fae the skint fingers.

Doubt if I'll ever be climbing again but miss it when I see these pics. Always wanted to do South Ridge Direct, but managed to find enough excuses to avoid it. Now it's too bloody late. Moan, moan, moan...............
 
I've done it a few times, the S crack is really elegant and the Y crack is just a strenuaous thrutch at top, rest (from memory is rarely more than Vdiff! Now Tidemark round in Cioch na h'Oighe must rate as one of the best and most exposed severes anywhere!
