The Island

The Isle of Arran is fondly known as “Scotland in Miniature” because it quite simply epitomizes the very best that Scotland has to offer in one compact and beautiful island – breathtaking scenery, wildlife, ancient history, castles, golf, distilleries, leisure activities, fresh local foods, quality accommodation and fine dining. The island is only 56 miles around, and comprises of over 100,000 acres of outstanding natural beauty. From rugged snow capped granite peaks and wooded glens, to crystal clear waterfalls, sandy beaches and pine forests, Arran truly is one of nature’s gifts. This impressive landscape is home to an abundance of flora and fauna such as grey seals, otters, red deer, golden eagles and red squirrels. Arran has a rich and fascinating history rooted in Celtic myths and Norse legends. The illuminated grandeur of Brodick Castle nestling above the bay and the picture perfect sunsets across the water at Lochranza Castle are beautiful historic icons. The eerie brilliance of the standing stones at Machrie Moor (dating back to the Bronze Age) and the intrigue of Kings Cave (where Robert the Bruce was said to have encountered the spider) provide further historical interest on the island. The island offers a range of quality accommodation and dining from 4 and 5-star country houses and spa resorts to intimate guest houses and self catering accommodation. No matter what you are looking for, the Isle of Arran has everything you could possible need for your perfect Scottish wedding…and much, much more!
