The Isle of Arran
The Isle of Arran is located off the Ayrshire coast. Frequent ferry services link Arran with Ardrossan in Ayrshire and Cloanaig in Kintyre.
The ferry port of Ardrossan is less than 40 minutes’ drive from both Glasgow International and Glasgow Prestwick airport, making Arran the perfect destination for a short break or longer holiday whether travelling from Scotland, the rest of the UK or indeed across Europe.
Whilst many tourists arrive on the island simply to kick back and relax, the island is packed with attractions and sights for visitors of all ages.
For those interested in taking in the beauty of their surroundings, Arran is full of woodland walks, coastal paths, glens and mountains all of which attract a diverse range of wildlife including red deer, golden eagles, red squirrels and even a basking shark or two!
Seven Golf Courses are dotted around the coast, each one featuring stunning views and a unique playing experience.
And, any trip to Arran would be incomplete without sampling some of the local produce, take in a tour of the islands very own distillery and brewery, enjoy the specialty cheeses and chocolates and of course pamper yourself with the world famous ‘Arran Aromatics’ luxury toiletries.
