The Isle of Arran has a lot to offer. It’s considerd Scotland in miniature because it has mountains and lochs to the north, and rolling hills to the south.
To ward off the cold of the rainy day, we had lunch at the South Bank Farm tearoom. Afterwards we toured the farm and were treated to a sheepdog demonstration. Sadly, I have read that at the end of October 2004, the farm closed their gates, so we were lucky to have met the people and visited the farm.
We stayed in Lochranza, in the northern part of the island. We visited and toured the Arran distillery. The visitor centre manager highly recommended the Brodick Bar for dinner and we were not disappointed with the daily menu consisting of local and regional fresh vegetables and meats. It was probably the best meal of our trip.
In Brodick, we also enjoyed locally produced cheese at Torrylinn Creamery and chocolates at James’s Chocolates and visited the Arran Aromatics, which has soaps and scents produced on the isle
