lots of options to fuel up before leaving towards Glasgow route or Greenock. Moreover another option would be a short ferry to Isle of Cumbrae, which has a nice cycle friendly 10 mile circumnavigation of island.

Lochranza Castle and Arran Distillery

Highlight • Castle

Arran Distillery has been producing fine single malt Scotch whisky since 1994. Starting life as rainwater falling in Loch Na Davie in the hills high above the distillery, and flavoured by the earth and rock, the Scotch produced here is hailed as a “taste of the island”. There is a shop and cafe and you can visit the distillery to find out more about the process. For more information, visit: arranwhisky.com.
