It is sheltered by Holy Island so it has the safest anchorage and was the traditional port of arrival. It still has the island admin and hospital though Brodick outgrew it once the ro-ro ferry port was developed.
Lamlash is a town on the Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. It lies three miles south of the island's main settlement and ferry port Brodick, in a sheltered bay on the island's east coast, facing the Holy Isle. Lamlash is the seat of Arran's local government offices, and is also the location of the island's police station, secondary school and hospital. In common with the rest of the island, the town's main industry is tourism and the public sector is also an important employer. Lamlash has an RNLI Lifeboat station with a B class Atlantic 75 lifeboat, covering the inshore waters around the coast of Arran, and in summer, there is a regular ferry service from Lamlash harbour to Holy Isle. The town has several buildings of historical interest, including Hamilton Terrace, which consists of two rows of single storey-and-attic cottages on the Lamlash seafront, arranged in pairs.

This splendid pile is Arran's top sight. It dates to 14th century but most of what you see is grand baronial Victoriana. Plus gardens and country park.
The outstanding group of ancient stones on Arran. If you were secretly disappointed by “the Stonehenge Experience”, come here to reconnect with your inner Ancient Brit. They're from Neolithic going on Bronze Age, 3000 to 4000 years old. There are six circles, at a point lit at midsummer sunrise through the notch of Machrie Glen. The first along the track from the car park (Moss Farm Road Circle) is modest as its stone was robbed and the track goes through it. The main group half a mile east are impressive granite and sandstone blocks. Others lie here and there across the heath, and the area can be boggy, wear stout boots.
