Happy New Year to all!

We are thinking that this spring we might take the motorhome on the ferry from Ardrosson to Arran, stay for a bit and and then go onwards to Kintyre.   Are you allowed to stay in the motorhome on these fairly short ferry crossings?  I'm really asking because of the dog.  She's a bit of a nervous nellie and I think she would be happier inside the van - but I wouldn't want to leave her on her own.  Also, do you need to book in advance for these crossings or can you just turn up on the day?  Is there any other info I should know? 

Much thanks for any advice.

 There's definately no access to the car deck on the Ardrossan run, but as evenstephen says, it looks as though the Lochranza ferry will be one of the smaller ones where there will be access.

 Better to book the Ardrossan crossing, that ferry can be fully booked at peak times. Not all calmac routes take bookings, so, again maybe better to give them a phone.
