Hiking
Keil Caves are a series of interesting caves at the southern end of Kintyre which you can explore. Although it’s hard to imagine these days, the caves were inhabited by people for many centuries. Nearby, you find St Columba's Chapel, St Columba's Well and St Columba's Footprints, footprints carved in rock to mark where Columba — who brought Christianity to Scotland — first landed.
