There are lots of low level walks on Arran. Think about beaches, glens and even Arran Coastal Way. Fisherman's Walk in Brodick is one of the most popular low level walks, taking you from Brodick across the bay to Cladach via beachside paths.
Despite its modest length (105 km/65 miles), the Way will take the average walker 6-8 days to complete, because some of the terrain is challenging and in a few places the route can be impassable at high tide.
