The Isle of Arran (Scots Gaelic: Eilean Arainn)
is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde. It is in the council area of
North Ayrshire. In the 2001 census it had a resident population of 5,058.
Arran is the seventh largest Scottish island and the ninth largest island
surrounding Great Britain (excluding Ireland). It has an area of 167
square miles.
Arran is commonly lumped with the Hebrides, with which it shares many
cultural and physical similarities, but in actual fact, the Hebrides start
off the west coast of Kintyre.
