e might be a wee bit prejudiced but we really think that Lamlash is the prettiest village on the island. We have a lovely community with lots to offer tourists and residents alike. We hope you find this website informative, attractive and user-friendly and once you’ve browsed through it we are sure that you will be curious to experience our village for yourself. 
Lamlash is located on the east coast of Arran between Brodick and Whiting Bay and sits in a bay facing the beautiful and historic Holy Isle (see map below.) It is the largest village on Arran and home to a golf club, a yacht club, a supermarket as well as the island’s hospital, high school, police station and council offices.
Lamlash Bay provides a safe mooring for boats and the pier is the departure point for pre-booked excursions to Holy Isle. Seals are often seen sunning themselves close to the shore and a large part of the bay is a No Take Zone (NTZ) so there’s plenty to experience if you’re a diver.
In Lamlash you can just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet or if you are looking for a more active holiday, there are plenty of sporting opportunities: watersports, golf, tennis, bowling, yoga or walking. There are lots of wonderful walks around the village from easy to ambitious, or you can hand over to Lucy Wallace from Arran Wild Walks and book a guided tour to discover Arran’s breathtaking scenery and magnificent wildlife. Or why not stay in Lamlash as you walk a section of the stunning Arran Coastal Way.
And last but not least, Lamlash offers a very good choice of pubs, bistros and restaurants. Holiday accommodation includes award winning hotels, B&Bs, self catering holiday homes and a caravan & camp site.
