Located some 15 miles off the Ayrshire coast, between the mainland and the Kintyre Peninsula, Arran is easily accessible, yet remarkably remote.
Arran is sometimes referred to as ‘Scotland in Miniature’, alluding to the contrasting landscapes of the island; mountainous and rugged in the north yet green rolling farmland in the south.
Although home all year round to some 4,500 people and many more visitors in the summer months, the crowd disembarking the weekend ferries seems to melt away into the hills. Once leaving Brodick, the island takes on a peaceful, almost timeless pace which is part of its magic.
There are many things to see and do on the island for everyone. Excellent hill walking (Goat Fell is a ‘Corbett’) can be found in the north and and more gentle excursions to the south. Ancient caves, graves and standing stones abound. A range of outdoor activities is on offer from kayaking to simply watching the wildlife. One principal attraction is the golf, where it is said that Arran boasts the highest ratio of courses to population anywhere in the world!
All journeys to Arran begin and end with a ferry trip. There are two ferry services, the principal route from Ardrossan on the Ayrshire coast to Brodick on the island, and a second summer service from Lochranza to Claonaig on the Kintyre Peninsula. The crossing to Brodick takes just 55 minutes and connects with trains to Glasgow Central.
