A little more information
Kilmory Farm has been for many years a well loved family home. It could equally be used as a holiday letting property or developed to form annexed living with a rental income, for those who would appreciate the many attractions of this peaceful and authentically rural part of Arran. Kilmory is a small village, which together with the adjacent hamlet of Lagg forms a vibrant community. There is a primary school with Early Years classes, village hall with active community club and café, the well known Lagg Hotel and the Lagg distillery nearby.
The nearest larger village is Blackwaterfoot, some 7 miles to the west and there you will find a general store, newsagent, garage and petrol station, the Kinloch Hotel, Shiskine 12 hole golf course with tennis courts, bowling green and a tearoom serving delicious meals and snacks.

The area around Kilmory offers many attractions. There are numerous walks and cycleways through beautiful forestry land on well maintained paths as well as over attractive farmland. Worthy of particular mention is the walk from the village hall through the bluebell woods via the 5000 year old Torrlinn cairn to Kilmory beach. Thought by many to be the finest hidden beach on Arran this long stretch of unspoilt sand and rock pools is a spectacular spot, with views to the Mull of Kintyre, Ailsa Craig and the Irish coast beyond. A very special place.

For wildlife enthusiasts there is much to enjoy; sealife, rare wild birds and animals such as otters, and red squirrels. And, of course, the rest of Arran is also there to enjoy.
