Loch Awe Sights
Loch Awe was the original highway as most local traffic was conducted by boat across the loch. As such, most of the key sites were built to be viewed by boat.
Let us take you on a tour through history from the glaciers and volcanos of the last ice age to the brutal clan struggles and the castles they left behind; right up until the romanticism of the Victorians and modern day.
Historic Sights Viewed from the Boat
Grab your camera - there's lots to see!
Cruise around Rock Hill crannogs known as the Priest's island and around Inishail island, the site of ancient burials.
