Getting Around on Arran

The main road runs right around the Arran coastline, covering some 57 miles and passing through most of the villages.

The roads are suitable for cyclists, and bikes can be hired on from Arran Adventure who are based at Auchrannie Resort.

Those without their own transport can also make use of the regular bus service which covers the island. There are regular daily buses from Brodick to Blackwaterfoot (30 mins); to Lamlash (10 mins) and Whiting Bay (25 mins); to Corrie (20 mins), Sannox (25 mins), Lochranza (45 mins), Catacol (50 mins), Pirnmill (1 hr) and Machrie (1 hr 10 mins). Timetables are available online from Stagecoach or can be picked up at hotel reception.

For those wanting to see the Island from a more unusual angle, Arran Helitours offer charter flights around the island, whilst Arran Adventure can offer kayaking or powerboat trips.
