What makes Loch Lomond, Inveraray and Argyll Private Tour from Glasgow a unique experience ?
A postcard-perfect hamlet on Loch Lomond, Luss conservation village is our first stop. We’ll walk through the village to Luss Pier, where we’ll see views of Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond (the region’s tallest mountain) on the opposite shore, and Loch Lomond itself.
Loch Awe’s imposing castle stands in harmony with its dramatic surroundings. Its imposing curtain wall reflects the imposing mountains that surround it on all sides, making Kilchurn one of the top Scottish castles to be photographed.
Sir Colin Campbell, first Lord of Glenorchy, built Kilchurn in 1450 as a strategic junction between the western highlands and the lowlands. As a government outpost during the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745, Kilchurn fell into ruin by 1740 when the clan left for Perthshire to pursue commercial interests.
We’ll admire the views to Kilchurn from the viewpoint.
The Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint is located at the top of Glen Croe. A former military road lies along the valley floor, built by General Wade to assist military control of the Highlands after the Jacobite Uprisings. A new road runs above it, as well as an imposing range of mountains, including The Cobbler, a favorite of mountaineers. The scenery is beautiful and the history is intriguing, so we’ll stop here to enjoy the views.
One of the most important gothic revival buildings in Scotland, Inveraray Castle stands proudly on Loch Fyne. Inveraray is the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Argyll and Clan Campbell chiefs. Argyll Castle is still home to the 13th Duke of Argyll Torquhil Campbell.
Myths and legends surround Inveraray Castle. During your visit, you will learn about the Clan Campbell’s role in Argyll’s history.
Please note Inveraray Castle is closed Tuesday & Wednesday.
A town bearing the same name can be found next to Inveraray Castle. The town was a ‘planned town’ at the time, which was unique for the period. Inveraray is a unique spot because of its whitewashed Georgian architecture, sleepy lochside location, and delicious whisky shop. The old jail is an interesting tourist attraction in Inveraray, and the moored Clyde puffer ship, Vital Spark, is a local landmark.
Walking along the River Falloch brings us to a natural beauty spot at the Falls of Falloch, a 10 meter waterfall that, when at its peak, creates an impressive sight (and sound). An excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth’s diary from her famous 1803 visit to Scotland is featured in the ‘Woven Sound’ art installation.
