The Isle of Arran is often described as ‘Scotland in miniature’ and it isn’t difficult to see why with the mountainous landscapes, castles, caves, indescribable beauty and mysticism and legend and yet only measures 56 miles in circumference.

Accessible via ferry from Ardrossan, Claonaig, Tarbert and Campbeltown, the Isle of Arran is Scotlands seventh largest island and sits in the Firth of Clyde in between the Kintyre Peninsula and the Ayrshire coastline. Ferry information can be found at Caledonian MacBrayne

Visit Arran is a website which takes you through everything there is to do on Arran and the island will be able to cater for the whole family; Beaches & Attractions, Golf Courses, Horse Riding, Restaurants & Bars and even has it’s own Octopus Centre

The roads around the island are a pleasure to drive and with many places to stay over it makes Arran a perfect getaway or extended pit stop on your motorhome or campervan holiday.
