Lamlash, Isle of Arran
 Lamlash, the second largest village on
Arran, is located on the southern half of the island, some three
miles to the south of Brodick and five miles to the north of Whiting
Bay and sits on a bay in which the Holy Isle is located.
The settlements on Holy Isle include
the Centre for World Peace and Health, founded by Lama Yeshe
Losal, on the north of the island. This is an environmentally designed
residential centre for courses and retreats which extends the former
farm house. The approach from the ferry jetty is decorated with Tibetan
flags and stupas.
There is a regular ferry service from Lamlash, and the island is popular with holiday makers staying on Arran.
Lamlash Bay served as a naval anchorage during the First World War, and relics of that time are still visible.
The sailing emphasis is obvious from any walk along the shore in
Lamlash. The bay itself is home to many moored boats.
