Kintyre and South Argyll

40 Walks in Knapdale, Gigha, Bute and the Cowal Coast

Douglas Milne

Rugged, wild, sparsely-populated and gouged by misty sea-lochs, South Argyll was once known in Old Gaelic as Airer Goidel, the 'Coast of the Gaels' and remains a place apart.

The hills and glens here are steeped in history and littered with standing stones, hillforts and castles, as well as unique wildlife-rich habitats created by the warming Gulf Stream.

This book explores the very best of Knapdale, Kintyre and the Cowal coast as well as the Isles of Gigha and Bute with walks to suit all abilities, many of which utilise the long-distance walking trails which criss-cross the area.
