Iorsa Water is the largest river on the Scottish island of Arran . It flows south-west from Loch na Davie at a height of around 360 m. Its approximately 13.5 km long run follows the valley of Glen Iorsa and it flows into Kilbrannan Sound at Dougarie . Iorsa Water flows through partly moist, boggy landscapes past small lakes and ponds and flows through about 3.5 km before the mouth of Loch Iorsa , the largest lake in Glen Iorsa.

Iorsa Water and especially Loch Iorsa are great for trout fishing. Various hiking routes with varying degrees of difficulty lead along Iorsa Water.
