Lochranza, Arran
Lochranza is a village located on the Isle of Arran, in the firth of clyde. the population, somewhat in decline, is around 200 people.
Lochranza is the most northernly sited of Arrans villages and is located in the north-western corner of the Island. The village is set on the shore of Loch Ranza, a small sea loch. Ferries run from here to Cloanaig on the mainland.
The area around Lochranza castle is a favoured spot to observe red deer, as the village is home to a healthy red deer population and, on the northern shore, grey seals are found year-round. Otters and golden eagles are also spotted in the area.
A new pier was constructed in 2003, allowing larger vessels easier access with the possibility to disembark passengers for a short tour of the village. Regular vessels which use the pier include the paddle steamer Waverley and the Lord of the Glens,
a small cruise ship.
Lochranza is the site of the Arran Distillery, built in 1995 and producing the Arran Single Malt. The distillery is one of the major industries of the island.
Lochranza castle is a fine ruin of a 16th century L-plan castle, across the road from the Lochranza youth hostel.
There is also a field study centre, where schools from all over the United Kingdom come to study the locality's interesting geology and the nearby Hutton's Unconformity to the north of Newton Point, where the father of modern geology James Hutton found his first example of an angular unconformity during a visit in 1787.
Lochranza is reputed to have the least hours of sunshine of any village in the United Kingdom since it lies in a north-facing valley on an island with a particulary high level of rainfall.
