Isle of Arran
Arran's Cheese Shop
The island's cheese dairy and shop at Home Farm, a mile north of Brodick, where a window lets you watch Arran Blue and cheddars being made.
Welcome
At Home Farm, about a mile north of Brodick, Arran's Cheese Shop is where much of the island's cheese is made.
Visited and photographed by Simon Hird
The business began in 1991, and since 2003 it has been run by Gordon and Margo Kinniburgh, whose rule is simple: make a first-class product every time.
The shop sits right beside the dairy, and a large window lets you watch the cheesemakers at work. Inside, the shelves are stacked with wheels of Arran cheddar in brightly coloured wax, in many flavours, alongside rounds of Camembert, the soft Arran Mist and the award-winning Arran Blue. There are hampers and chocolates too, so it is easy to put together a picnic or a present.
The shop opens from Monday to Saturday. The other shops at Home Farm are close by, and Brodick Castle is just up the road.

Hidden Scotland
From our guide to Arran
Much of Arran's cheese is made at Home Farm, just outside Brodick, and a big window in the shop lets you watch the cheesemakers at work. The business began in 1991. The shelves are stacked with wheels of Arran cheddar in brightly coloured wax, in all kinds of flavours, along with Camembert, the soft Arran Mist and the award-winning Arran Blue. There are hampers and chocolates too, so it is easy to put together a picnic. Pick up a loaf from the bakehouse next door and head for the castle grounds up the road.
