What is at the other end

Ardrossan harbour runs the ferry to Brodick on Arran, the island often described as Scotland in miniature — Highland in the north, Lowland in the south, with Goat Fell above the ferry terminal.

Who travels this route

Arran-bound travellers with a sailing time to meet.

What to know before you book

Arran sailings are weather-sensitive and cancellations do happen. Check the operator's status on the morning of travel.
