VisitArran Today is...  

 

 

Welcome to...




situated right on the shore in the village of Kildonan
on the south coast of the Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.

"Ocean Breeze" was built around 1900, and was used as a boarding house from its earliest days.
It was occupied in part by Kildonan Stores & Post Office which closed in May 2010.
It had been of the longest running businesses on the Isle of Arran.
Elspeth and Russell bought the property and retail business in October 1994
from a descendant of the founders.
