Lochranza is a village located on the Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.
It is the most northernly sited of Arran's villages and is located in the north-western corner of the island. The village is set on the shore of Loch Ranza, a small sea loch. Ferries run from here to Claonaig on the mainland.
Lochranza is the site of the Arran Distillery, built in 1995 and producing the Arran Single Malt. The distillery is one of the major industries of the island.
Lochranza Castle is a fine ruin of a 16th century L-plan castle, across the road from the Lochranza youth hostel.
