The 8 Best Shopping in Isle of Arran, Scotland

November 8, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Packed to the gills with antique silver, porcelain and furniture, the red sandstone Brodick Castle is one of the highlights of the Isle of Arran. The castle overlooks Goatfell, a majestic hill that’s a popular day hike. The Machrie Moor stone circles make for a mystical field trip, as does a tour of The Arran Malt whisky distillery.

Arran Art Gallery

Arran Art Gallery was established in 2005 by the owner and professional artist, Nick Giles. The gallery represents the work of 60+ established and emerging artists from Arran and the UK mainland. There is a wide range of styles to suit different tastes. The gallery has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Arran is easily accessible from the Scottish mainland in comparison with other Scottish islands; 50 minutes by train from Glasgow with a 55-minute ferry crossing. The island has a stunning and unspoilt natural environment.

A real gem you would be hard pushed to find a nicer wee gallery anywhere. Lots of interesting works, Nick Giles is a genuine talent, staff so helpful.

Isle of Arran Cheese Shop

Reviewed By 138megans

This is a great little shop and definitely worth a visit, particularly if you love cheese! There are loads of varieties of cheese, as well as other things to buy (include oatcakes, haggis and sweet treats). There are free samples of all the cheeses that you can buy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I spent far too much money in this shop, but I have no regrets!

Arran Sense of Scotland

For three decades, we’ve been creating vibrant, evocative scents from our Home Farm factory, an old dairy farm for the historic Brodick Castle. We’ve grown significantly since we began as a small, family soap business, but we’ve held true to our island heritage. A sprig of gorse, a breath of sea air and a pinch of seasoned wood. These elements combine to conjure vibrant, evocative scents that are uniquely Scottish, uniquely Arran. Untouched, natural elements surround our land and water from our very own freshwater spring finds its way into each and every one of our products.

The soap and smells here were lovely and I loved every scent. Some of the prices were a bit dear and I wouldn't pay for them myself but I can understand why people would. At the back you can see the factory and also you can make your own soap, which we done. It was £20 for the four of us to make our own soap which is really good and would be fun for your children too! I'd reccomend for something fun to do or if you're maybe wanting a local present for someone.
