1

Whitefarland is a clachan on the Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. It is located approximately 1 mi to the south of Pirnmill. Its name is derived from Old Norse, not Gaelic. It may refer to Olaf the White who was King of Ireland and the Western Isles. The alternative name for Whitefarland, cited in 1351 in papers in the Scottish Records is 'Irachonan' - which means King of Ireland in old Norse.
