Lagg (Scottish Gaelic: An Lag) is a hamlet on southern coast of the Isle of Arran in Scotland made up of a few houses and a hotel. The hamlet is within the parish of Kilmory.[1]
History[edit]
The name "Lagg" means "The hollow".[2] The family-run hotel has a restaurant and is one of the oldest inns on Arran, dating back to 1791. The shop/post office has closed and the hotel no longer has a public bar.
There are various cairns near Lagg on either side of the local river, reached by a forest footpath near the bridge that follows the riverbank south towards the sea.
