Overview

Argyll Isles

Known as the birthplace of Scotland, this is where much of the country’s history has taken place and is the cradle of its Christianity and nationhood.

The atmosphere of the Hebridean islands will make an immediate impact on you, as will the rural villages’ charm and the natural frontier as you find yourself between the ruggedness of the West Highlands and the tranquillity of the Lowlands.

Argyll Isles
From the historic figures of William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots to Rob Roy, they’ve all stepped foot here and you can retrace their footsteps.

There is plenty of wildlife for you to catch a glimpse of too, with stunning eagles, ospreys, stags and even dolphins within your gaze. It’s also home to the world famous Highland Games, where you can mix with the friendly locals and experience the local culture.

You’re as likely to fall in love with the beauty of the area as Sir Walter Scott did many years ago. Scotland's first great travel writer, Scott describes the area around Loch Katrine in his famous poem, 'The Lady of the Lake:'

Argyll Isles 'From Kintyre to Killin and Tobermory to Tillicoultry, an open invitation awaits you in these heartlands of Scotland.'

The same can still be said about the heartlands of Scotland toady.
