Area Description

Murray Place sits within the village of Lamlash, located on the eastern side of the beautiful Isle of Arran — Scotland’s most southerly and one of its most accessible islands.

The village of Lamlash offers an excellent range of local amenities including two hotels (The Glenisle and Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) and The Drift Inn), a church, newsagent, chemist, medical centre, the island’s only hospital, and a Co-op supermarket.

Arran, approximately 60 miles in circumference, is renowned for its fine sandy beaches, excellent walking and rambling, and both sea and trout fishing. Tourist attractions include the Arran Aromatics Centre and shop, the Arran Heritage Museum, the Lochranza Distillery, and Brodick Castle. There are seven golf courses on the island, including nearby Lamlash Golf Club.

Often described as “Scotland in miniature”, Arran is divided into Highland and Lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault. It is a popular destination for geologists, owing to the significant volcanic activity that occurred around 16 million years ago during the Tertiary period. The island is also rich in ancient history, with many stone circles and standing stones dating from Neolithic times, including those on Machrie Moor and the Giants’ Graves above Whiting Bay.

The primary school, nursery, and the island’s only high school and gym campus are all situated within a short, level walk of Murray Place, with further primary schooling available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service operates around and across the island, while at Lochranza there is a ferry terminus providing convenient access to the stunning west coast of Scotland via Claonaig.
