View of the Kyles of Bute from Tighnabruaich

Highlight • Climb

Take your time with this climb, which ever way you choose to approach it - its quite a climb if you're fully loaded. A little easier from Tighnabruaich, the views out and across the Kyles of Bute are fabulous.

Lochhead

Highlight • Settlement

A nice little place at the end of the loch. Perfect resting place after the descent and before the climb back inland.
