The Arran Coastal Way Project started in May 2014. A major award from Coastal Communities Fund and further valuable contributions from North Ayrshire Council, Visit Arran (Arran Trust) and Forestry Commission Scotland has meant the appointment of a project co-ordinator and 3-strong footpath team to undertake work over 2 years. Contractors will also be engaged in improving sections of the Way and signage and interpretation will be updated.
