The main roads to use are the A71 (from the M74 motorway) towards Irvine, or the M77 from Glasgow to Kilmarnock, then the A71 westbound to the ferry terminal at Ardrossan. There is also a seasonal ferry service to Lochranza, on Arran’s northern coastline, from Claonaig, on the Kintyre Peninsula. The route to this smaller ferry service (also operated by Caledonian MacBrayne) is favourable for people touring the western isles or wishing to take in the longer scenic route from Glasgow, via Loch Lomond.From the ferry terminal in Brodick, turn left and continue for 12 miles through Lamlash and Whiting Bay. Passing our sign, turn left to Kildonan. The site is located on the left along the shoreline. The Southend bus, no. 323, will stop at our drive upon request.
