A new magical map of Arran detailing the locations of the popular Thumble Tumble series is set to encourage readers and potential visitors to follow the stories and adventures and discover where to look for all the magical characters from the children’s books.
The Thumble Tumble series, by Glasgow author Angela Proctor, who writes under the name of A H Proctor, follows the magical, spooky, challenging and fun adventures of the friendly eight-yearold Arran witch. The stories combine history and myths with real locations such as Brodick Castle, the Holy Isle and Goatfell, so the national tourism organisation is hoping to help the region capitalise on the books’ success with Thumble Tumbles Magical Map of Arran.
A total of 5,000 copies – funded by VisitScotland – have been printed and are available in Brodick iCentre and will also appear on CalMac ferries, enchanting readers and potential visitors to the island. The map is also available to download at thumbletumble.co.uk.
