With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Isle of Arran, 18 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Brodick Isle of Arran Ferry Terminal, Auchrannie Leisure Centre and Brodick Castle. Rothesay is another popular destination. It’s 20 miles away and boasts a range of fun things to see and do. Mount Stuart, Rothesay Castle and Rothesay Ferry Terminal are only the start.
