Ardrossan Harbour

Get in

By road

From the south, the A78 now by-passes Irvine, Stevenston and Saltcoats so Ardrossan is a lot easier to get to.

From Glasgow, the M8 takes you to Glasgow Airport and at the Airport, the A737 signposted Irvine and going through Dalry is the best route.

By train

Good train service from Glasgow, with stops in town and at the ferry docks.

By boat

From the harbour, you can catch the Cal-Mac ferry to Arran.

By plane

The nearest is Prestwick Airport. Also convenient is Glasgow Airport.
