History

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.
