The town boasts two distilleries, museum, heritage centre, harbour, cinema, leisure centre and an annual regatta and music festival.

The lovely village of Tarbert with its harbour, marina and ancient castle is another opportunity to explore.
The Kintyre area is well-known for its fine, white sandy beaches including Westport surfing beach, Macrihanish, Point Sands, A’Cleit, Peninver and Carradale beaches as well as the stunning beach of Dunaverty at Southend.
Unspoilt countryside abounds and whether cycling or walking there are scenic views on East and West coasts of the peninsula.
Lying just off the west coast of Kintyre, the Isle of Gigha offers a pleasant day trip. There is easy access to the Isles of Islay, Arran and Jura. Jura is one of the wildest and most mountainous of the Inner Hebrides. Islay is great for wildlife enthusiasts as it boasts a large RSPB reserve, a wintering population of barnacle and white-fronted geese, and a wildlife information centre.
For the outdoor enthusiast, there are three golf courses, walking along the Kintyre Way, cycling, fishing and water sports. Beach 1 mile. Shop 5 miles, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Rhunahaorine Cottage Is a beautifully presented and was spotlessly clean.
Rhunahaorine Cottage Is a beautifully presented and was spotlessly clean.It has quality furnishings, bed linens & an excellent shower. It feels like it is a proper home & not just a cottage run as a business. It is obviously well cared for & provides an abundance of crockery unlike some properties that provide the bare minimum. It is ideally situated to enjoy the beautiful Kintyre Peninsula, Islay & Jura. We highly recommend Rhunahaorine Cottage.
