Uncertain future for many Arran premises@davetheraverovingtherock

I still like that old Ba😮nk building but don't know what I'd use it for. To live in I'd still prefer a wee but n Ben in the countryside.

Shocking that it went for 350k. That’s incredibly cheap

I visited Arran recently and was utterly shocked at the hatred and anger the islanders have for Calmac.
My family's holiday was ruined by the constant references to Calmac and the Ferries by the islanders. They're completely obsessed with them and speak of little else.
It's not the ferries that are damaging tourism on Arran, its the constant moaning by the locals.

It's shocking to see this but not Calmac to blame it's the government as part of their agenda to destroy communities and put as many restrictions as possible to disrupt our lives ...shocking

Bit of a grey day Dave… But it’s still Arran so who cares how grey it is…

Spent many a holiday in Lamlash with the Sloss family. John Thompsons used to have a chippy called Middletown’s. I got sent for the chips every night from the houses beside the council offices further up the town. Used to spend my summers on the Lorries of Arran Transport. Happy Days.

Ah little England, I don't miss it.

So sad for a favourite island

I was in Arran in May for the first time in many years. I noticed how many properties were for sale. With the ferry service as bad as it is I'm not surprised. I hope these new ships help to regenerate the place.

The abandoned Maclaren hotel in Brodick is an eyesore. Someone said the owner is refusing to sell? It needs a hospitalty company to take ut over and demolish and turn it into a restuarant which Brodick badly needs with added apartments.

its a shame to see so many properites up for sale, i think with the hoohaa with the ferries, a lot of tourists dont go any more, so therefore it must be very difficult to make a business make a profit. i also noticed the douglas hotel and that wee cafe in lamlash, the old pier cafe i think, they are up for sale as well. one of these days, i will buy a wee hoose there and retire. love that island.

Arran is being destroyed

A sad update indeed....but thank you for your detailed report....👍

Half of the White House is in a back garden on Murray Place 😂
