Loch Ranza Field Studies Centre
Loch Ranza, on the Isle of Arran is PGL’s specialist Field Studies centre, catering for a wide range of courses including Geography, Geology, Biology and Environmental Science. Ardrossan Harbour is less than 1 hour by rail from Glasgow and the ferry crossing to Brodick takes approximately 55 minutes.
The Isle of Arran has been described as 'Scotland in miniature' and is recognised as one of the best locations for fieldwork in Europe.
Arran offers a vast array of study for physical geographers, while for human geographers the tourist-reliant economy and historical form and function of settlements are worthy of study. For geologists Arran offers rocks spanning practically all the main periods of the last 600 million years!
