Everytime I travel to Argyll, I wonder why it’s not much more popular. And that is its charm: the unspoilt beauty and tranquility. To enhance the experience of peace, you’ll be based in in just the one B&B / hotel, slowing the pace.

This ‘Tour & Trek’ includes the following:

• A visit to the Isle of Gigha noted for its lush landscapes and quietness.

• Making some sense of the mysterious beliefs of the Neolithic age in Kilmartin Glen dating back 5,000 years ago. This has an amazing profusion of standing stones, burial cairns and ring and cup marked rocks.

• A hike upto a hillfort on top of a summit overlooking this beautiful coast.

• Visit to St Columba’s cave and an ancient Chapel with a collection of exquisitely embossed stone slabs with Celtic motifs to gain an insight into the early Celtic Christian movement that has a revived contemporary appeal due to its connection with nature.

• Ascent to Dunadd hill fort, where the kings of the ancient Scot’s Kingdom of Dalriada were inaugurated by placing their foot into an engraved footprint on the summit rock.

• Walks along coasts, to castles, through woods and beside lochs and rivers.

There are other options to see and do, which can be planned in. Such as:

• An adrenaline power boat ride to the dramatic Corryvreckan whirlpool

• A hike out to Davaar island with the mysterious cave painting of the crucifixion.
