Interiors of Arran book launched

Arran Civic Trust launches its new book, Interiors of Arran

Today, 1st December, Arran Civic Trust is launching their new, fully illustrated book Interiors of Arran. An ideal Christmas gift and a companion to Buildings of Arran.

This new book demonstrates the richness of the island’s heritage and resourcefulness of its people with many examples of aesthetic sensitivity and local artisanal skill. The book has been a long time in preparation, not least because of Covid interruptions, and the committee hope that you will agree it has been worth the wait.

It is a unique record of the treasures to be found in Arran’s houses, churches and business premises. Its production involved the whole community and we are very grateful to everyone who volunteered items to be included and allowed us to photograph them and record their history. The cover shows a small selection of the contents.

Priced at £14.00 and on sale at retail outlets around Arran including The Harbour Shop, Blackwaterfoot; Wee Book Shop in Corrie and Sannox Village Hall; Arran Active, Brodick; and also Book and Card, Brodick.

You can also order a copy by post from John Inglis at The Red House, Corrie KA27 8JB. The price is £14 plus £2.50 postage and packaging which you can pay by cheque to Arran Civic Trust or by transfer to Arran Civic Trust (ACT), Bank of Scotland, sort code 80-05-84, account 00123498.
