Local holidaymakers have long known the charms of ‘Scotland in minature’, but visitors from elsewhere in the UK are now catching on to its attractions – from gin to paddleboardingAugust 31, 2022 7:00 am
In the afternoon we ease out with the Lochranza Centre again across aquarium-clear waters. We are canoeing under big skies and spot one of the local golden eagles soaring on the thermals. Arran is the only island with all of Scotland’s Big Five There are distilleries at Lochranza and Lagg, breweries at Cladach and Lamlash, an Arran Gin, a chocolatier, a coffee roaster and fishermen dish up boat-fresh lobster, langoustines and scallops.The Brodick Brasserie meanwhile has brought fine-dining to Arran under inspirational young chef Timur Jay Ünal. His tasting menu is a delight, accompanied by an immaculately curated flight of wines.
It’s less than a year since I was last on Arran, but new options burst out all over. Arran Active now rents out paddleboards, Arran Bike Hire can set you up with an e-bike and Coast Discovery Centre runs guided sessions that check out the new snorkelling trails. “Don a snorkel mask and you can experience the 280 sq km South Arran Marine Protected Area with its world of marine wonders,” says Jenny Crockett, Coast’s outreach and communications manager.
