Arran boasts no fewer than six golf courses. They vary
in length and the degree of difficulty, but all have
beautiful views. The 12-hole seaside links Shishkine
Golf Club at nearby Blackwaterfoot overlooks the Kilbranen
sound with magnificent views to the Mull of Kintyre.
It has the distinction of being ranked as one of the
top 100 golf courses in Britain. For more information

you can swim from a range of nearby sandy beaches (highly
