Transport and Taxis

Public transport on Arran generally ties in with the ferry times from and to Brodick.  Caledonian MacBrayne operate both the Brodick-Ardrossan service and the Lochranza-Claonaig ferry (which in the winter operates on a reduced timetable and becomes the Lochranza-Tarbert run).

There are three main bus runs – North Arran 324, South Arran 323 and The String 322  - and all start/end in Brodick and/or Blackwaterfoot.  Great fun for all the family to enjoy!  Be warned though, the buses leave shortly after the boat docks and the stances are situated to the right of the terminal building. To check out bus times at present, click here for details and enter the bus route number:  https://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables#

If you don’t want to bring your own car, but don’t want to go by bus or walk – then there are taxis available at the ferry terminal when the boat docks  - Arran Taxi Company also has wheelchair accessible taxis.  For private hire (which need to be booked in advance) try  Bay Garage.

E-Car charging points are available in Lamlash, Brodick and Blackwaterfoot, and fuel is available in Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay and Blackwaterfoot.

Guided tours are operated by Mogabout in their super 4 x 4 luxury mini coach, details on their website.  Tours may also be offered by Bay Garage.

If you have transport, whether for a large or small group, think about a local tour guide - Brian Deary or  George Lammie can offer this facility - much better to have some local input!

And if you prefer the freedom of a self-drive for some of your stay , check out Arran Rent-a-Car at  the garage on the pier.
