After leaving East Anglia behind we head north to our overnight hotel.

Friday
At 41 miles in length Loch Fyne is the longest sea loch in Scotland. The area around Loch Fyne is particularly beautiful and includes the historical town of Inveraray which is our destination for today.

Sit back and enjoy the fine panoramas that pass you by as we make our way by ferry across to the Isle of Bute.

A camera is a must for today as we enjoy a morning’s scenic excursion along narrow, winding roads through the mountains of Cowal to the idyllic village of Tighnabruaich. After absorbing the truly wondrous scenery which overlooks the beautiful Kyles of Bute to the Isle of Bute we return to Dunoon for free time in our host town.
