Argyll & Bute is a vast area on the west coast of Scotland characterized by islands, lochs and moors. What a better place to experience the Scottish landscape, beautiful, wild and untold. And its proximity to the country's major gateways, Edinburgh and Glasgow, make it a great destination for a family vacation or a weekend holiday break. Explore beaches, cliffs, forests and mountains. Tour castles and monuments and visit delightful small towns. Hillwalk, horseback ride and sail. Try fresh or smoked salmon and trout. And, if you've been kind to your mate, taste true Scottish whiskey while he or she minds the smaller members of your crew.
