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.

Paps of Jura - Isle of Jura
A view across the Sound of Islay to Jura. The island is dominated by three steep-sided conical quartzite mountains on its western side - the Paps of Jura which rise to 2,575 ft. Also in the image are two ferries from Port Askaig, the larger one returning to the mainland at Kennacraig and the smaller Jura ferry which crosses the fast flowing Sound of Islay, to reach Feolin in a little over five minutes.
