Arran is situated off the west coast of Scotland, known as ‘Scotland in Miniature’. It boasts an abundance of wildlife, including seals, deer and the rare red squirrel, many outdoor pursuits, a large selection of walks for all abilities and plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. There is something for everyone whether you enjoy an activity filled holiday or simply want to relax, unwind and enjoy the scenery.
Getting There
Arran is accessed by ferry from two ports, Ardrossan and Claonaig/Tarbert. Ardrossan to Brodick is the main sailing and takes 55 minutes to sail across. If you are travelling by car you need to book your car on the ferry, which should be done well in advance as the ferry does get very busy. Claonaigh/Tarbert to Lochranza brings you it to the north end of the island and takes 30 mins to sail across. You cannot book your car on this ferry you just need to turn up. The sole ferry operator on both routes is Caledonian MacBrayne.
