Cameron House on Loch Lomond
Cameron House underwent an extensive refurbishment project before it reopened a few years ago.…
Our View
A 100ft high Wellingtonia dominates the main lawn of this 200-year-old garden in northwest Cardross. In spring the tree is surrounded by colourful azaleas and the kitchen garden bursts with a variety of edible produce, sold near the garden’s entrance. In summer, the herbaceous border never fails to impress, and architectural features such as the restored MacKenzie and Moncur glasshouse and the 1797 potting shed looking out across the Geilston Burn fascinate visitors. Beyond the walled garden there’s a magical woodland with waterfall, bridges and mossy paths, carpeted with wood anemones and bluebells in spring. The atmosphere is intimate and enchanting and there are treats around every corner: the marriage well, the cherub bird bath and the quirky dipping tank are all delightful, quirky features.

About the area
Discover Argyll & Bute
This is a county that’s all about awe-inspiring landscapes and unique island cultures. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney put the area on the map when he wrote Mull of Kintyre, recorded in 1977 with the local pipe band backing his group. Kintyre is a long, thin peninsula that points south from the mainland, sheltering the mouth of the Firth of Clyde from the open sea. It’s very nearly an island, with just a narrow isthmus connecting it with Knapdale, to the north.
Tucked away at the end of the Firth of Clyde, Bute has been the holiday playground for generations of Glaswegians and is home to some of the finest golden beaches anywhere on the west coast. It may not boast the wild mountain grandeur of some of Scotland’s other islands, but Bute is blessed with swathes of heathery moorland and a range of low, fertile hills, perfect for walking and studying the local wildlife. Such is the variety of landscapes that make up this county.
To experience the sights and sounds of the area, visit Dunoon in late August for the Cowal Highland Gathering, when more than 150 pipe bands from all over the world compete for prestigious trophies.
