Ardrossan 
        harbour was created in 1806 as part of an ambitious yet unsuccessful plan 
        to link the town with Glasgow by canal. Today the town provides a link 
        with Arran by ferry. As a result the town is a popular transit point for 
        tourists on their way to Brodick. The cycle path 73 provides a link from 
        the main Route 7 to the ferry port. The Caledonian MacBrayne ferries take 
        around 1 hour to travel across to Brodick. Click
