Old Photographs Lochranza Scotland

Old photograph of Lochranza, Island of Arran, Scotland. Lochranza is the most northernly sited of Arran's villages and is located in the northwestern corner of the island. The village is set on the shore of Loch Ranza, a small sea loch. Formerly a herring fishing port, the village economy is now geared more towards tourism after the reopening of the pier in 2003. Lochranza is also the site of the Arran Distillery, built in 1995 and producing the Arran Single Malt. It is said that a local midwife once had an encounter with the Queen of the Fairies at Lochranza.
