The A481 at The Arran Distillery, Lochranza, Arran The A841 is the only A-road on the Isle of Arran and forms the island'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.
