ABOUT ARGYLL, THE ISLES, LOCH LOMOND, STIRLING & TROSSACHS

Loch Fyne Argyll

In the 6th century a tribe of Irish settlers, the "Scots", set up home in Dunadd Fort near Kilmartin. From this Argyll base, the early Scottish Kings went on to found the nation of Scotland.

The whitewashed houses of Inveraray seem almost continental against this historic backdrop, with Inveraray Jail offering a glimpse into the austere 1820’s, and the turreted Inveraray Castle, home to the Dukes of Argyll, recalls the power of the once mighty Clan Campbell.

Here, you can also trace the footsteps of heroes like St Columba, Sir William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Mary, Queen of Scots ... and of outlaws like Rob Roy.

Scotland's first great travel writer, Sir Walter Scott, was captivated by the beauty of this fascinating area. In his best-selling poem, 'The Lady of the Lake', he wrote of the landscapes around Loch Katrine:

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

The same holds true today as it did in Scott's time.
