The pub was closed when we arrived, the owners very kindly allowed us to park our car in their car park. The only other parking available in this hamlet is opposite the village hall.

Kilchurn Castle and Loch Awe

Highlight • Viewpoint

With a surface area of 14.9 square miles (38.5 sq km), Loch Awe is the third-largest freshwater loch in Scotland. The stunning stretch water flows into the River Awe and Loch Etive, eventually draining into the Atlantic Ocean.

The land surrounding the loch would once have belonged to the Macarthurs family who established themselves as a powerful clan from its banks.

Today, Loch Awe is a peaceful nature spot known for its trout and salmon fishing.
