Last stop on the North End section of our adventure is the beautiful stretch between Pirnmill and Machrie.



Pirnmill Village Store & Post Office – supply both the 120ml and 750ml tubs of Arran Ice Cream so you have the option to eat it then, or take it home and share! 🍨

Cafe Thyme – pop in for a delicious Turkish pide or fresh summer salad and let your kids run round their epic adventure playground while you relax and enjoy the views. If shopping takes your fancy, you'll be sure to find something you love at the Old Byre Showroom - Isle of Arran 👠👢🥾👜💼

Machrie Bay Tearoom - whether you’re in for a round of golf, or a tasty lunch – Machrie Bay Tearoom serve Arran Ice Cream by the scoop. While you’re there you can also pick up an Isle of Arran Milk milkshake and enjoy the views of Kintyre (and maybe spot a Dolphin or Seal!) 🦭 🐬
