Top 8 Historic Sites in Isle of Arran, Scotland

May 6, 2022 Merry Kessler

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.

Lovely piece of history for arran. Well looked after by the council. Parking available, next to waterfalls and the main road with the sea on the opposite side.

The Twelve Apostles

Just a few yards from the beach in the tiny village of Catacol. Each of these fishermen's cottages has a different upper window so that when the men were at sea, their wives would light a candle in the window and each man would know which house was signalling.

Reviewed By Scottish-Hidden-Gems - Irvine, United Kingdom

A row of 12 small fishermen cottages known as the twelve apostles, each one with a different shape window which was used to signal to the fishermen by there wives. It's a beautiful little village!
