| LOCATION Two hours west of Glasgow (including
a one hour ferry crossing), Arran is also conveniently located for people arriving from
England or Ireland. The main roads to use are the A71 (from the M74 motorway) towards
Irvine, or the M77 from Glasgow to Kilmarnock, then the A71 westbound to the ferry
terminal at Ardrossan. There is also a seasonal ferry service to Lochranza, on
Arran’s northern coastline, from Claonaig, on the Kintyre Peninsula. The route to
this smaller ferry service (also operated by Caledonian MacBrayne) is favourable for
people touring the western isles or wishing to take in the longer scenic route from
Glasgow, via Loch Lomond.
Please be
aware of the need to book the Car Ferry in advance, when you are booking
your Arran holiday.
