In addition to the attractions and places to visit shown in the guidelines above, throughout the year numerous events and festivals take place.

Some of these include: fiddlers rallies; jazz and folk festivals; charities weeks; agricultural shows; highland games and gatherings; sea food fairs; gala days; ceilidh evenings; sheep dog trials; yacht racing; full programmes of rugby, football and shinty amongst others; castle and garden open days; golf tournaments; art exhibitions; music, dance and song festivals; concerts of every kind; local and national Mod competitions; flower shows - the list goes on! 

No matter when you chose to visit, you are sure to find plenty to do while you are here!

Local information giving details of the what's on programme is easily found in most shops and in the local press.

For history lovers there is no shortage of archaeological sites, standing stones, cairns, burial mounds and so on, to say nothing of castles, industrial heritage sites, maritime history, and every kind of man-made structure you can think of!

In an area rightly famous for outstanding natural beauty it is no surprise to find that some of the best things to do involve getting closer to nature. The area is well known for fascinating geology, sites of special scientific interest, marine scenic areas and special areas of conservation.

Hill walking has always been popular, and less strenuous walking is available in many wooded paths and over open terrain. The Forestry Commission promote their forest walks, cycling trails and visitor facilities. Mountain biking is becoming more popular too, and a number of locations offer extensive tracks. Pony trekking is always good fun. You should find plenty of opportunity for looking at wildlife in the hills and forests or by or in the sea. Boat trips, sea angling trips, wildlife watching trips and photographic expeditions are all available locally.

And of course in a coastal area, sailing and watersports are widely available, everything from kayaks to power boats, windsurfing to scuba diving, dinghies to yachts.

And if you need to find a quiet spot just to sit and enjoy the view, or have a picnic, and get way from it all, then we have plenty of that too!

Argyll has something for everyone!
