Quick facts

About the 01301 dialling code

01301 is the UK geographic dialling code for Arrochar, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Arrochar area.

A full Arrochar number is normally written as 01301 XXXXXX. You can dial the local part on its own from within the same area, or the full number from anywhere in the UK.

Because of UK number portability and internet calling, a 01301 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Arrochar. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01301 so an unknown call looks like a nearby business or neighbour — so treat an unexpected call on what is actually said, not on the area code alone.

Calling 01301 from abroad

From outside the UK, dial your international access prefix, then the UK country code 44, then 1301 (the area code without its leading zero) and the local number.

History of the 01301 code

The code was 0301 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01301.

Is a call from 01301 safe?

Most 01301 calls are ordinary local calls from Arrochar homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01301 prefix so you are more likely to answer. Never share bank details, passwords or one-time security codes with an unexpected caller, even when the number looks local — hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified yourself.

To call a 01301 (Arrochar) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1301 followed by the local number.
