Travelling By Car
If you are travelling by car from Glasgow it will take about 2 hours to get to the heart of Argyll and another hour to reach Campbeltown.
Take the A82 out of Glasgow and change onto the A83 at Tarbet which will take you all the way to Kintyre and Campbeltown. It forces you to slow your mind and reflect on the beauty of where you are and why you are there. The mountain views along Loch Fyne are spectacular. The road winds over the mountains and along the loch through Lochgilphead, Ardrishaig and Tarbert where you can buy fuel and have a meal. Then the route switches to the western shore of the Kintyre peninsula and the wilder, brighter, open waters of the Sound of Jura run alongside and open out onto the Atlantic Ocean.
