Argyll, Loch Lomond & Trossachs
Regarded is one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland,
the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park covers
a total of 170 square miles of stunning landscape with
the world famous
bonnie banks of Loch Lomond being the star attraction.
But the famous loch is not all that is on offer here,
and is only 30 mins away from city of Glasgow.
Islands, Glens & Coastline
Dramatic and unspoiled landscape of islands, glens and rugged coastline,
cradle of early
Gaelic culture, home to some of Scotland’s
most sought-after and distinctive malt whisky - Gardens
ablaze with colour, stunning beaches, rolling hillsides,
charming coastline villages and a rich history - all
part of Argyll & trossachs charm.
A short ferry crossing leads to the peace and tranquility
of ‘God’s
Island’ – Gigha. The island is ideal for
walks, cycling and bird watching. Visit the walled garden of Achamore
House with its camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons and magnolias.
Activity Holidays in Scotland
Charter yourself a yacht and enjoy this spectacular coastline, of which
some can only be seen from the sea. Play golf at some
magnificent golf courses, like the famous
championship course at Machrihanish Golf
Club, or
watch the professionals play at the Scottish Open at
Loch Lomond Golf Club.
Argyll is on the West Highland Way, a 152km (95m)
walk from Milngavie in Glasgow to
the foot of Ben
Nevis, often making use of the old cattle
drovers’ roads, military roads, coaching roads and disused railway
lines. For Divers, the area possibly offering the
greatest variety is Oban and the Sound of Mull, running
out to Ardnamurchan Point in the west. But there
is good and challenging diving throughout the region,
detailed in each of the area sections.
There are many options for fishing, sailing and horse
riding in the area. |
