From vibrant cities bustling market towns to mysterious lochs and magical islands… there really is so much to see and do on Scotland’s west coast.

Whether you’re staying for a few days or a few weeks, we guarantee that you won’t get bored. Here we take a look at just some the many places you can visit that are close to our quiet caravan site in West Scotland.

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond

Just a short distance from Rosneath Castle is Loch Lomond. Covering 71 square kilometres, the loch sits in the heart of the Trossachs National Park. You won’t find a much bigger or more beautiful loch (or lake) in the UK. Here you can take a cruise on the water, enjoy a picnic by the water’s edge, take a stroll through the woodlands or challenge yourself with a climb up Ben Lomond.

The Kyles of Bute

The Kyles of Bute

Sometimes known as Argyll’s Secret Coast (because, unless you venture here you wouldn’t know of its existence), the Kyles of Bute is the narrow stretch of water that separates Bute from Argyll. At their widest point the Kyles are two miles wide but narrow to just a few hundred yards in places. Here you can spot an abundance of wildlife and enjoys walks and views out over the water.

Mull, Iona and Staffa are all doable in one day, if you like a challenge!
