Tour Argyll and The road to the Isles

Dramatic mountain peaks tower over moors dotted with tumble-down crofts and castles laid waste in clan feuds. Icy streams ripple through wooded glens and into lochs teeming with salmon and trout, to the delight of anglers. Golden eagles soar above the rocky crags and red deer roam the moors, near scattered villages haunted by tales of murder and treachery in days gone by.

The principal towns of Argyll, while all having quite different qualities, have a common theme in providing excellent facilities for shopping, sports, outdoor pursuits and sightseeing. The bustling seaside communities of Rothesay and Dunoon lay witness to the history of Scotland while Inveraray has, in it's infamous jail, and castle, two notable attraction.

Further north, the ancient fishing village of Oban has seen many changes of economy from fishing to tourism.
