Tighnabruaich means house on the hill. The views of The Kyles of Bute as you approach are stunning. Only two hours west of Glasgow you can either take the ferry across the Clyde to Dunoon or drive round across the fabiluous rest and be thankful. The approaching new road is the A8003 and is one of Jeremy Clarkson’s most spectacular roads for driving. Aptly christened by the locals as Argylls secret coast, It is one of Scotland’s best kept secrets.

Loch Fyne is 10 minutes away where the Portavadie ferry links us to Kintyre.
