Off Kintyre, savour the seclusion of Sanda Island, a Site of Special Scientific Interest renowned for its bird colonies. With the walkers, explore the less trodden trails of the Kintyre Way, or visit the family-owned Springbank Distillery at Campbeltown and the atmospheric ruins of Tarbert Castle.
Past the legendary Mull of Kintyre, rugged Rathlin offers walks to East Lighthouse and Bruce's Cave with breathtaking panoramas to sea. From Craighouse explore the walkers' haven of wild Jura and sail to more inspiring walks on Colonsay or the late summer glory of Colonsay House Gardens.
