The Isle of Arran boasts seven unique golfing challenges all of which convey the charms and beauty of this island. Arran is known as ‘Scotland in Miniature’- for reasons obvious when you get there - it demonstrates all the diversity of mainland Scotland from rolling hills to stunning coastline and the golf also provides attractive variety. From the famous links of Shiskine to the parklands of Brodick and Lamlash the Arran Golfing Experience provides a wealth of golf and excellent value for money. The Arran Golf Pass is only £105 for the seven courses and remains valid for a whole year, allowing for the seven courses to be played in as little as 3 ½ days or as many as 365! After some years in abeyance, the Arran Folk Festival has been relaunched with a very high, international profile. The Festival will also establish a trust fund to assist the many community groups which are involved in music and the performing arts generally. To that end it is proposed that the 16th Arran Folk Festival will take place 5 - 13 June 2010. WAVERLEY is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world.
