Argentine Guest House: Location

 

 

...Location

Arran is reached by car ferry from Ardrossan or Claonaig. Ardrossan lies on the Scottish mainland and is ideally situated for the three most important Scottish airports (Edinburgh, Glasgow Paisley and Glasgow Prestwick) as well as well as guests from south, west and north. Cloanaig on the peninsula of Kintyre, is the preferred route for all coming or going to Scotland's West Coast. With the availability of Island Hopscotch tickets for the ferries, Arran is very easy to incorporate into a tour of this part of Scotland.

Often referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature', the Isle of Arran within a small radius captures many aspects of the beauty of Scotland as a whole, from towering granite peaks inviting hill walkers and climbers to peaceful sandy bays overlooked by palm trees growing in the warm climate of the Gulf Stream.

The wildlife is outstanding, with deer, pheasant, otter and eagle readily seen in the mountains. There are over 100 species of birds. There are colonies of seals near coastal caves, trails and pathways to mysterious Bronze Age Stone Circles, and many relaxing angling hours to be enjoyed by streams or sea. 7 challenging golf courses tempt the golfer, whilst history and heritage is catered for at Brodick Castle and various museums.
