Arran North
Posted on May 11th, 2007 by Map Master
KNOWN as ‘ Scotland in Miniature’ , Arran is a condensed version of the best that Scotland has to offer; golf courses, castles, distillery, museums, outdoor activities and gourmet food.
It is the seventh largest Scottish island nestled in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Kintyre.
The island is one of Scotland’s most beautiful places. Rolling rugged high ground in the north leads to the green forests and fertile fields of the south.
Overall it covers an area of 167 square miles, it is 19 miles long by 10 miles wide but has one of the most remarkably diverse landscapes divided into ‘highlands’ and ‘lowland’ areas by the Highland Boundary fault Line, which runs northeast to southwest across Scotland.

Arran is one of the most easily accessible islands as it is only a 55-minute crossing from Ardrossan to Brodick. The Claonaig to Lochranza ferry service from Kintyre makes the island easily accessible from the highlands and islands as well.
The north end of the island is covered in high peaks perfect for climbing enthusiasts.
For those who prefer flatter ground the south end of the island is a must see.
Whether you are looking to escape for a weekend, have an action-packed break or just uncover the hidden delights, there is something here for everyone.
