With unspoilt lands, a fragmented coastline and deep sea lochs lapping at the foot of the mountains, Argyll with it’s 9000 years of Scottish history is the birthplace of Scotland and the focal point of much of its colourful history. It provides a fascinating picture of bustling trade and leisurely sailing
