Go wild on Arran

17 March to 3 August

From the seashore to moorlands and mountains, there is always something exciting to see on the Isle of Arran.

The island is home to some of Scotland's most iconic wildlife, including red deer, golden eagles and red squirrels.

The sea surrounding the island also supports a wealth of marine life, including gannets, porpoises, minke whales, seals, dolphins and basking sharks.

Discover more of Arran's special wildlife on one of our guided walks, events or evening talks running across the island and designed to give you the best chance of seeing Arran's wildlife highlights.

Opening times

Events take place across the Island.

Facilities

A few pairs of binoculars and a telescope will be available for you to use on guided walks. Some of the walks and the talks are accessible by wheelchair and pushchair – please call for more information.

How to get there

Ferries to Arran take only 30 minutes from Kintyre, at Claonaig, or 55 minutes from Ardrossan (an hour from Glasgow by train).

On Arran, local buses run from the arrival of the Ardrossan ferry.

What should I bring?

Stout footwear and wet weather clothing are required for guided walks. Please also bring your own binoculars if you have them.
