Lamlash
By The Sea

Lamlash By The Sea – formerly Lamlash and Kilbride Parish Church – stands at the heart of the Isle of Arran in Scotland, a cherished landmark woven into the island’s history and community life.

Under new stewardship, we honor its past while shaping its future—preserving its beauty and purpose as a gathering place. Reimagined as a setting for film, photoshoots, weddings and special events, we’re opening the doors to new possibilities, with the goal of all proceeds reinvested into local initiatives and the church’s ongoing care.

Rooted in tradition, guided by innovation — Lamlash By The Sea remains a place for connection, celebration, and community for generations to come.
