Finding Dougarie from Brodick
Dougarie is on the west coast of the Isle of Arran, around 11 miles from Brodick which is the main village on the island. From the ferry terminal, turn right onto the A841 and go through the village of Brodick. After leaving the village take the B880 (The String Road) across the island for roughly 7 miles before turning right at the sandstone post-box (signposted for Machrie, Pirnmill & Lochranza). Follow the road until it meets the sea and turn right onto the A841 and head north for approximately 1.5 miles. Once you cross the river Iorsa turn immediately right into the driveway leading to The Lodge and The Towers.
Finding Dougarie from Lochranza
From the Lochranza terminal turn right and head south down the A841 passing through the village of Pirnmill where the road will turn inland and head uphill; when it returns to the shore Dougarie is approximately 2 miles further south.
