Glen Rosa

Valleys

Glen Rosa is a glen on the Isle of Arran in Scotland Firth of Clyde, near the mountain Goat Fell and reached by a road just outside Brodick. Its ascent gains less than 200 metres (660 feet) in elevation, making it a relatively gentle route, and it holds a campsite at its foot that serves as a popular base for reaching Arran major peaks; its Scottish Gaelic name is Gleann Ruasaidh.
