Argyle, Arran and the Isles
With a vast mainland and home to 23 inhabited islands, the scenery and landscape in Argyll & the Isles will take your breath away. Arran which means "The Peaked Island" in Gaelic, is a small island off the West Coast of Scotland and lies in the Firth of Clyde. Arran is often referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature', and captures many aspects of the beauty of Scotland as a whole, with landscapes of towering granite peaks to peaceful sandy bays.
Kintyre was once described as Scotland's only "Main Island" as the peninsula would be an island, were it not for the short isthmus at Loch Tarbert.

Killinallan Point - Isle of Islay
The coastal scenery around the Rinns is very impressive, particularly at Killinallan Point, a beautiful and lonely headland at the far northeast of Loch Gruinart. Killinallan Point consists of a dune system with very interesting wind shaped sand figures and beautiful beaches surrounding the point. It's typically the place where the tides from the Atlantic Ocean meet the water in Loch Gruinart and from where the many Barnacle Geese can be seen first when they return to Islay for the winter.
