Shopping time on Arran visit can take all day as there is so much to explore.
On Arran we are fortunate enough to have lots of lovely niche shops where you can shop for all manner of things – clothes, jewellery, hand-painted furniture, food, drink, and household goods. Village shops on Arran don’t just sell food either! Everything that you could want to shop for - from inexpensive souvenirs to beautiful hand crafted individual gifts is available.
In many of the local shops on Arran you will also see lots of beautiful paintings and photography available to buy… well, living in such a beautiful place it is hard not to be inspired! There are also some wee, but very lovely craft shops on Arran – we’re a talented arty bunch over here! Check out the villages for roadside signs and you might be able to take a wee detour to see the craftspeople in action.
Arran Art Gallery represents the work of over 80 artists in a spacious and beautifully lit gallery by the sea in Whiting Bay. The gallery holds the largest stock of original art to be found on the island and one of the largest in Scotland. In addition to local artists, the gallery exhibits many of Scotland's established contemporary artists. At present approximately more than 90 Scottish artists are represented in the gallery and also on the website. Quality ceramics, sculptures, photography, jewellery and glasswork complement the gallery; and there is a wide range of artist prints that can be posted directly to any destination worldwide. The gallery also exhibits artwork for sale in a select number of venues around the island. The gallery is open all year round.
