You'll need Scotlands People for this search as Scotish BMD's are not on Ancestry

I think its north ayrshire

On the Scotlandspeople website:

Arran comes under the County of Bute.

Followed by districts: ie. Isle of Arran ... Brodick .... Lochranza .... Shishkin .... Lamlash etc.

You will be stuck by the rules on what data you can see.

Scotland has rulings like Aus, and you cannot view births online past 1912. It'll be a case of ordering certs sadly.

The more info you know the better, otherwise you'll be looking for a needle in an expensive haystack :-(
