Best things to do in Lochgilphead

Visitors to Lochgilphead are always awed by the incredible scenery. There’s no better way to enjoy it than by getting outside. Here are some ideas:

  • Argyll Beaver Centre: Right in the middle of the Atlantic Rainforest, this remote centre will introduce you to a typical Scottish creature - beavers!
  • Knapdale Forest: There are lots of forest trails to enjoy in this National Scenic Area that’s located right next to the Sound of Jura.
  • The Archway Gallery: On a rainy day, visit the town’s art gallery which is family-run and home to work by local artists.
  • Dunadd Fort: Hike up to this rocky outcrop, a geological formation where Gaelic Kings once ruled.
  • Kilmory Beach: It’s a rarity to find a deserted beach in the UK, but Scotland has its fair share. Kilmory is particularly wonderful, with white sand and hidden coves.
