  • A BRIEF HISTORY of ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This Booklet Is a Brief History of Church Life in and Round Shiskine, and in Particular of St Molios Church
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This booklet is a brief history of church life in and round Shiskine, and in particular of St Molios Church. The Red Church was opened for worship on 21st July 1889. This event testified to the faith and commitment of generations of Christian people. The expansion has continued. In 1962 a Guild Room and kitchen were added to the church. In 1964 the kitchen and Vestry were let out to the Board of health twice a week for physiotherapy. Thereafter the toilets were altered to ensure access, for disabled people and improvements to the kitchen and hall were carried out. The profits generated by this booklet will benefit the fund set up to enable improvements to the Church & Hall. The new manse was built in 1978. Services on Sunday are well attended both by our members and visitors who flock to the island every year. The church of Scotland has adjusted ministry on the island so that since 2005 our parish has been linked not only to Lochranza and Pirnmill, but also to Brodick & Corrie. The arrangement is made possible by the appointment of a minister and a part-time Parish Assistant resident in Shiskine manse. The Minister and Reader conduct three services each on a Sunday, ensuring the tradition of morning worship can continue. Worship is always at 12:00 noon at St. Molios. Visitors to other churche in the linkage need to consult "The Arran Banner" or the church notice board for times of services which vary. The Sunday Club meets at the time of morning worship weekly during term-time and is open to children from four to eleven.

  • The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75
    The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75 George Broderick Universität Mannheim 1. Introduction In the early spring of 1974 I was presented with the opportunity of undertaking a collection and survey of the place-names of the island of Arran.1 This unusual situation came about as a result of the wishes and desires of the Arran Society of Glasgow to have a scientific collection and assessment of Arran place-names undertaken by the School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh. In this regard, the then encumbent of the Chair in the School, Professor John MacQueen, was asked by the Society to provide personnel for this assignment. I was not the first but in fact the fourth (if I recall correctly) to be asked; the previous three, for one reason or another, were unable to complete the task.2 Now under pressure from the Arran Society, Prof. MacQueen, mindful that I had expressed an interest in the project, called me into his office and put the case to me. He said that many of the recordings made by Prof. Nicolaisen were of poor sound quality – Nicolaisen himself admits that in his own Tape Register – and suggested that I take over where Nicolaisen had left off and seek to re-establish contact with as many of his informants as possible who were still living. It was pointed out to me that prior collections were incomplete and I would have to rescue what was left in Arran to complete the job. This I agreed to do. 2. The name Arran3 OIr. nom.

  • Arran Coastal Way
    ARRAN COASTAL WAY SCOTLAND IN MINIATURE ARRAN COASTAL WAY - SELF GUIDED WALKING HOLIDAY The Arran Coastal Way is a fascinating 64 mile coastal walk around one of Scotland’s most famous SUMMARY islands, often described as Scotland in miniature. It is a wonderful relaxed walk along beautiful coastal stretches, where you have the option to climb Goat Fell for a spectacular view or visit the Kings Cave. After enjoying the one hour ferry journey to the Isle of Arran, you will book in to your selected accommodation in Brodick. You will then travel North - with an option to climb Goat Fell if the weather is good - and then onto Lochranza via Sannox. The views looking north up Loch Fyne towards the highlands are fantastic. Next you walk South, down the West side of the island to Kilmory via Blackwaterfoot, a wonderful stretch opposite the Mull of Kintyre. The Southern end of Arran is less mountainous and the walking close to the shoreline is very rewarding. Finally you head north again via Whiting Bay and back to Brodick. An unforgettable experience on one of Scotland’s best islands. Every holiday we offer features hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s, country inns, and guesthouses. Each is unique and offers the highest levels of welcome, atmosphere and outstanding local cuisine. We also include daily door to door baggage transfers, guide book and pre-departure Tour: Arran Coastal Way information pack as well as emergency support, should you need it.
