Lochranza (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Raonasa) is a village located on the Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.

A new pier was constructed in 2003,[10] allowing larger vessels easier access with the possibility to disembark passengers for a short tour of the village.

Regular vessels which use the pier include the paddle steamer Waverley and the Lord of the Glens, a small cruise ship.

[12] The village is also celebrated in verse: On fair Lochranza streamed the early day, Thin wreaths of cottage smoke are upward curl'd From the lone hamlet, which her inland bay And circling mountains sever from the worldThe actress Katharine O'Donnelly was raised in the village.

They were once labelled "the worst football team in Europe", with a winless streak of 19 years,[13] and featured on ESPN Asia, Soccer Saturday and BBC Sport Scotland.
