The West
Coast of Argyll for the purposes of this website stretches from
Tayvallich (see Crinan) at the top
of the Mull of Kintyre to
Barcaldine in Loch Creran. The
largest population centre in this area is the beautiful port of
Oban which is also the ferry terminal for many of the islands
such as Mull and Iona, Tiree and Coll as well as Colonsay. To
view any of these islands click on the
Argyll Islands link.

The
navigation of this site is very easy, you can move from town
to town or village by clicking on the list on the left menu.
When there you can then find all the accommodation available
in that immediate vicinity whilst also find information
about the place, things to see and do and also local
businesses. Each local area also has a map to help you
orientate.
The
west of Argyll is very popular and accommodation can be at a
premium in July and August. It is always best to book in
advance to be assured of good rooms. |

The west
of Argyll is probably one of Europes most scenic areas. There
are very few population centres and those that there are have
lots to offer in the way of accommodation as well as
restaurants. If you are an outdoor person then there are
hundreds of walks to choose from including some excellent long
distance walks.
How to get
to the Argyll Coast will depend upon where you are coming from.
If you are coming from Ireland by way of Stranraer or Troon, or
by Prestwick airport then an ideal entry point is by ferry from
Gourock on the South Clyde coast to
Dunoon. Alternatively from Glasgow head for Loch Lomond and
enter via the Helensburgh
Road, Arrochar or
Tyndrum to Dalmally or
North to Bridge of Orchy. |
