The A481 at The Arran Distillery, Lochranza, Arran The A841 is the only A-road on the Isle of Arran and forms the island&#039;s primary transport route, as it connects all the major settlements on the island - Brodick, Lochranza, Blackwaterfoot and Whiting Bay. It used to make a complete circuit of the Isle of Arran on its 55-mile course around the coast. In the early 2000s, the road was reclassified so that the western and southern sides of the route are now unclassified.
