The Isle of Arran – a stunning, historic island tangled up in Celtic myths and legends of Scotland's past. It has a distillery, castles, caves, standing stones, a brewery, museums, outdoor activities, high quality local crafts and locally produced food that's fast gaining an international reputation.

Dunoon, and the Cowal and Kintyre peninsulas – full of nostalgia, great distilleries, coastal trips, a lovely castle at Dunoon, glorious gardens, and of course nearby Inveraray Jail and Castle too.
