Location, location, location. Surrounded by beautiful, natural attractions, you will be spoilt for choice on how to best fill your days. Island hopping is fun or simply drive through the breath-taking countryside on the way to your chosen location. Perhaps a wee distillery visit, Benmore Botanic Gardens, local waterfalls or maybe a few castles.
Inveraray is just a short drive north of Sandbank and well worth a visit. The castle is home to the Duke of Argyll (you may have seen A Very British Scandal)and there is also a famous prison in the centre of town. Tons of lovely wee shops selling Scottish goodies and wonderful places to eat.
The Waverley's summer schedule includes a stop in Dunoon and you can spend the day
touring local islands on this magnificent vessel. Built in Glasgow, the Waverley is the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world so it's definitely worth taking a trip. Equipped with
restaurant, coffee shop and bar, it's an easy way to pass the day.
Hillwalking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, sailing - this is a place to enjoy the outdoors.
Surrounded by artist studios, you can shop for local photography, paintings, ceramics, metal sculptures, textiles, jewelery, glassware and woodwork in the Cowal peninsula.
In summary, you have access to everything that makes Scotland special.
