The doors were finally closed at the Isle of Arran Homes office in Brodick on Thursday, despite attempts by staff and tenants to reverse a decision to shut it.
The closure followed an announcement earlier this year that Trust Housing Association was to move all administrative and clerical support functions to the mainland for nearly 300 homes on Arran, in a bid to save money.
