Information provided by VisitScotland
An unspoilt landscape of glens and bays, the traditional kingdom of the Scots, the cradle of early Gaelic culture and home to some of Scotland's most sought-after and distinctive malt whiskies - Mid-Argyll, Kintyre and Islay are all these and more.
At every turn, the sea-fringed West Highland landscape of Mid Argyll is steeped in history, from the pre-historic sculptures at Kilmartin and Knapdale to the elegant ducal castle of the once-feared Clan Campbell at Inveraray. But an enthralling history is not all that lures the visitor here. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with superb views across the water to the majestic Isle of Jura and is ideal for walking. Wildlife is abundant, and the best way to appreciate it is to walk or cycle on the many quiet roads and tracks.
The Kintyre peninsula is joined to the Argyll mainland by a narrow isthmus, called a 'tarbert' in Gaelic and from which the lively fishing village and sailing haven of Tarbert takes its name. Swept by the warm Gulf Stream and studded with quiet inns and hamlets, the Mull of Kintyre has already been immortalised in song by Sir Paul McCartney and offers a glimpse of a gentler corner of Gaeldom. Its major town, Campbeltown, has a history and landscape all its own: the scene of Viking invasions at Saddell and nearby, the stunning beaches.
To the west, the coast is rugged with some glorious beaches and crashing surf from the blue Atlantic Ocean. West Loch Tarbert, from where the ferry for Islay and Jura departs, has been described as Scotland’s most beautiful sea loch, whilst the tiny island of Gigha is lush, fertile and relaxing.
Islay is the migratory home to thousands of Barnacle and White Fronted geese, which can be viewed at the acclaimed RSPB nature reserve at Loch Gruinart. The island is also world-renowned for its fine single malt scotch whisky. Lagavullin, Laphroaig and Bunnahabhain are just some of Islay's several distilleries which welcome visitors to watch the production process and, even better, sample their delights.
Across the narrow Sound of Islay, Jura is a very different island. Mountainous, sparsely populated and left to nature, Jura is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. It's rich in red deer and birds of prey, hunting over the mountainous Paps of Jura which dominate the island landscape.
In the heart of Argyll, a rare sight can also be seen: wild beavers living back in Scotland as part of the Scottish Beaver Trial.
