History – the Heart of Argyll – Scotland
The landscape of the Heart of Argyll is richly layered with Scotland’s history, making it a fascinating destination for short breaks and holidays. From the Bronze Age standing stones and burial cairns in Kilmartin Glen and Knapdale, to Dunadd Fort, the birthplace of our nation, where ancient Kings were inaugurated. You’ll find yourself returning time and time again to delve deeper. Carnasserie Castle, Castle Sween and the castles at Tarbert, Skipness and Inveraray are steeped in history, while at Auchindrain Township, the social history of the clearances and agricultural change is compellingly brought to life.
