⛰️ Rest and Be Thankful and Inveraray
The Rest and Be Thankful is one of those Highland viewpoints that makes you stop and just take it in - a classic sweep of glen scenery where the road climbs through big, rugged hills and the views open out in every direction. It’s a memorable stretch of the journey, with that feeling of being right in the heart of Argyll’s wild landscape.
Inveraray is a beautiful lochside town with a distinctly elegant feel, known for its whitewashed buildings and the backdrop of the surrounding hills. The waterfront by Loch Fyne is lovely for a gentle wander, and the town centre has inviting little shops and cafés that make it easy to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere. If you’re drawn to heritage, Inveraray Castle and the historic Inveraray Jail are standout sights that give the place even more character.
🏝️ Mull and Tobermory
A day on the Isle of Mull is all about those classic west coast views - sea lochs, rugged hills, and little flashes of white sand and turquoise water as the island opens up. Duart Castle is a real highlight, dramatically positioned on the shore at the entrance to the Sound of Mull, with a storybook silhouette that makes for brilliant photos and a real sense of Highland history.
Tobermory is the perfect contrast, welcoming you in with its row of brightly painted waterfront buildings, fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, and a relaxed island buzz. It’s a lovely place to wander along the front, browse the small shops and galleries, and settle into a café or seafood spot as you watch the harbour life go by.
