Loch Lomond
At the heart of the the Trossachs National Park is Loch Lomond, the bigget and many say the most beautiful loch of all. Amongst other places, we will stop at the idyllic villages of Luss and Balloch with time to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding lochs and mountain scenery
Oban
Oban’s name derives from the Gaelic language and means ‘little bay’. Surrounded by miles of dramatic coast and beautiful countryside, the seaside town is also known as the Gateway to the Isles. Oban itself is compact and easy to get round on foot. There are plenty of small galleries and independent stores to browse through, as well as the centrally-located local distillery, chocolate shop, and museum. Wander along the seafront to the ruined Dunollie Castle and the sandy beaches beyond.
Inveraray
Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is a traditional county town in Argyll. Established in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the powerful Clan Campbell, the town is an absolute set piece of Scottish Georgian architecture. Key buildings that are worth visiting include the neoclassical church, and Inveraray Jail and courthouse, now an award-winning museum that graphically recounts prison conditions from medieval times up until the 19th century. A short walk north of the New Town, the neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle remains the family home of the Dukes of Argyll. There are also the usual choice of great shops, bars and restaurants to explore and maybe enjoy a ‘wee dram’?
