Lamlash

The largest village on the island, facing the natural harbour of Lamlash Bay and Holy Isle. Its seafront lawns, pier and restaurants make it ideal for a relaxed stroll.

Lamlash lies about 6 km south of Brodick and is the most populous village on Arran. It sits beside a natural deep-water bay sheltered by Holy Isle, and it was once a naval anchorage. The seafront has large lawns, a pier and paths, and it is the departure point for ferries to Holy Isle. The bay is Scotland's first community-led 'no-take zone' marine reserve. Visitors can take kayaking, sailing or seal-watching trips here. The village has several seafood restaurants, cafés and shops, making it a good base for the south coast circuit or for overnight stays.
