The team at Argyll Adventures are very professional, the trip we went on was very well organised with safety and fun equally measured. Our hour trek along a lovely path with views out to Loch Fyne was terrific for both adults and kids, the ponies are very well trained calm and friendly. The team encouraged and guided us through out. A really memorable and fun experience.

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.

Really warm welcome as soon as we entered the jail - unusual thing to notice at this kind of attraction! - and a fun chat about how welcome dogs are. We didn't have a dog but it seemed a good feature to us, rather than making them stay in a car! The audio guide was extremely good: informative and provided a purposeful and fun way to take in all the information, which was added to nicely by the costumed guides strategically positioned. Lots to see - but not too long - interactive in places too: the photo booth is a fun idea, sitting in the court, trying out the hammocks etc were all engaging. Decent shop at the end. Fully recommended.

Auchindrain Township

A visit to Auchindrain is a chance to see a forgotten way of Highland life. Auchindrain is the last surviving Highland farm township, a type of settlement found across Scotland from the Middle Ages until the late 18th century. Social and economic change arising from industrialisation and new ways of farming then saw most townships improved out of existence, but Auchindrain survived until the 1960s as the last of its kind. The site is now run as a museum and visitors can explore the land and buildings with the assistance of our interactive guide-tablets. Auchindrain, which is run by an independent charity, is a conservation work in progress. It is a Category A listed site that remains proudly authentic and true to history. Gritty realism and the ever-changing Highland weather are not for everyone, so please visit us properly prepared, ready to learn about and understand the hard every day life of our ancestors.

We have been here a few times and we love it! This was the Highland village that avoided the clearances because the Duke of Argyll took it on as a pet project. Its a working farm and they give you a tablet with GPS that provides information on the buildings as you enter them. Its cheap and is a great pllce to visit, not only for adults but for children as well. Very highly recommended place to visit!

Crarae Garden Argyll

Reviewed By ChrisP577 - Farnham Common, United Kingdom

It has taken just over 100 years for this garden along the glen to reach it's current state of maturity. It is absolutely stunning, especially at the moment with the azaleas and rhododendrons in flower. Well worth a visit, and if you are an English National Trust member you will get in free.
