How did Arran get its name?

Arran got its name from the Old Norse Word "Eyran," which means "the island." The name reflects the island's Viking heritage, as it was settled by Norse explorers in the early medieval period. Over time, the name evolved into its current form, "Arran," as it was adapted into Gaelic and other languages. The island's rich history and stunning landscapes have made it a notable part of Scotland's cultural identity.
