Kildonan is a village on the south coast of Arran. It is named after the Irish monk, Saint Donan, who is believed to have lived here in the 6th century. The village boasts a beautiful sandy beach with spellbinding views over the islands of Pladda and Ailsa Craig, as well as a 13th-century castle. You find a good choice of accommodation in the village as well as places to eat and drink.
