What Glen Rosa is
Glen Rosa is a dramatic mountain glen on the Isle of Arran, famous for:
• steep granite mountains • the Rosa burn river running through the valley • open moorland with grazing sheep and cattle • views of peaks such as Goat Fell
Because of these features, the area became a popular subject for landscape painters in the late nineteenth century.
