About Arran

Arguably the most beautiful island in Europe, the isle of Arran is Scotland’s most southerly and accessible island. The Island of Arran is a 55 minute ferry crossing from Ardrossan in south west Scotland which is less than a one hour drive from Glasgow.

The moment you step aboard the ferry to Arran you will start to experience that strange but pleasurable sensation known as ‘Island time’ wash over you and take effect. As you set foot on Arran you will feel a million miles away from the stresses of everyday life, ‘.... in no time’, as a feeling of relaxation, belonging and well being takes hold. You’ll meet likeminded visitors and locals and experience events, attractions, activities and produce unique to the island of Arran.

Our scenery is of course memorable with rugged granite mountain peaks in the north, the green rolling hills of the south, pretty villages and stunning, ever changing coastal views around every corner.

The island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with outstanding wildlife, flora, fauna, geology, archaeology and history, all packaged in a compact and accessible destination which is a mere 56 miles in circumference. Travel distances are short and in most instances, a drive of 30 minutes or less is all that’s required to reach your destination for the day’s activities.

So, just relax and enjoy, ‘Island time …. in no time’.

We look forward to welcoming you whether you are a first time visitor to the Island or one of the many who return often and have fallen under the mysterious spell of this wonderful island - Arran, Scotland.
