Due to Scotland’s world-class access rights you have a right of responsible access to most of our land and inland waterways. This means you can enjoy our amazing country on foot, bicycle, horse, kayak, paddleboard, or, as in this case, canoe.
A serene warm evening, and, along with a few swimmers, we had this beautiful loch in Argyll’s Knapdale Forest to ourselves.

A beautiful, tranquil sunset at Islandadd Bridge, Bellanoch.
We saw a couple of otters, oystercatchers, herons, swallows, curlew, redshank and more, and were treated to a rustling mini murmaration from a flock of starlings. All was accompanied by a backdrop of late evening birdsong.
All this from the side of the road. You don't have to go far here for some amazing wildlife experiences!

✨ June evenings don't get much better than this.

As the golden light dances across the still waters of Crinan, it's easy to see why this corner of Mid Argyll captures so many hearts. Whether you're enjoying a peaceful stroll along the canal, stopping for coffee by the basin, or setting off to explore the surrounding coast and countryside, Crinan is a place that invites you to slow down and savour the moment.

This June, why not make time to discover (or rediscover) the Heart of Argyll? From hidden gems to unforgettable views, adventure and tranquillity are waiting around every corner.

The summer season is underway at Kilmory Beach. With turquoise waters, stunning Jura views and peaceful, sandy shores, it's easy to see why this hidden gem is one of Mid Argyll's most treasured coastal spots. ☀️🌊

The Argyll Beaver Centre is open on both Sunday 24/5 and Bank Holiday Monday 25/5 from 10am to 5pm. For the rest of the week we are open from 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Friday.

There are still a few places remaining for Wednesday's Beaver Walk. Don't miss out on the opportunity to see one of them, (sightings have been good so far this year), and to learn more about these amazing creatures.

Please note that, at present we will start the walks at 6.30pm, rather than the advertised 7pm start on our website. These particular beavers are getting up earlier!!
