Arran welcomes you this Summer
Island time... In no time. Why not make Arran your Summer
Summertime on Arran is known locally as the ‘busy season’. Flowerbeds bust with colour, and heather offers a purple tint to the hills. This is the time of year when there’s loads of activities and events on offer, so try your hand at kayaking – or visit a village fete.
The wildlife is plentiful as the young of Spring settle into their new lives. Be sure and keep an eye out for dolphin and porpoise around the shoreline, and whilst you’re there, take a dip in the clear seawater yourself! Key events are Arran Farmers’ Show and Brodick Highland Games. These events are both held in August and have been going for hundreds of years (literally). Arran Open Studios is a great weekend event in August too.
We're ready to welcome you this season.

Arran. The Island.
Escape. Experience. Enjoy. Arran is an island that offers your adventure, wellness and time, to simply be in the moment and soak up the best of Scotland's island life.
The west coast of Scotland is a special place, and as soon as you step aboard a CalMac ferry and sail towards the stunning island of Arran, you will leave all your stress behind on the mainland. As you approach the iconic silhouette of Arran, with Goatfell's jagged lines dominating the sky (if the clouds lift to let you have a preview), you will instantly relax and start to get into the way of 'island life' for your stay here.
Being surrounded by water, nature, beautiful landscapes and friendly faces, no matter what direction you look, you will get lost in the character of Arran and be inspired by every new sight or experience on the island. It's a place that stays with you, even when you leave. That's why people come back, time and time again.
Did you know Arran is an inscribed UNESCO Global Geopark?
