I have driven past Inverary Castle many times and looked way up at the monument high up above the castle, my eldest son has completed the walk/hike on several occasions, and knowing I like walking we decided to drive the 90 miles to Inverary for the day. Anyone who enjoys a walk and a challenge will not be dissapointed as it is beautiful especially from the top. I have had both knees replaced and have a dodgy hip,so if I can do it, most can as well. it is well worth the effort looking accross Loch Fyne and the mountains breathtaking!! Roy A

After considering visiting the area while we were staying near Loch Lomond, we decided to make the 100 mile plus drive (over 3 hours each way) each way to visit the Mull of Kintyre. We travelled via Campbeltown (outward) to have a coffee and use toilets due to the remoteness of the Mull with basically just a car park at the top of the cliffs. Like the lyrics of a Beatles song “The long and winding road” is a good way to describe the final few miles of the drive. The road is very narrow and down to single track in some parts with what I’d describe as a rouge farm gate in one place which was open the day we travelled. When we arrived at the car park on top of the cliffs it was like the lyrics of the Wings song “Mull of Kintyre” with mist rolling in from the sea which kept coming and going. Before we travelled, we looked into the possibilities of walking down to the lighthouse at the bottom of the cliffs and it was estimated being a 30 minute walk each way but as the lighthouse was 300 metres below, I’m confident it would have been much longer 30 minutes to walk back so we made do with the changing views from the top. It was dry during the time of our visit and as the mist lifted the distant views were constantly changing with the Northern Ireland coast near Rathlin Island and Ballycastle coming into view in the very far distance.

I had an amazing time at Inveraray Castle. All staff were lovely, the gardens were magnificent, the castle itself is a fantastic historical gem and the scones in the tea room are to die for. Notably, my guide Bridget was extremely informative and her bubbly personality absolutely made our day. Thank you Bridget.

A quick hike up to the tower rewards you with expansive views over the town and the nearest islands , very atmospheric at night when its all lit up ,this is an iconic structure thats now synanomous with Oban even though it was never finished. Free to enter and has a nice viewing platform with very informative board that tells you what hills, islands and villages you can see.
