A trip to Argyll and the Islands is a voyage through history, with reminders of the ancient past never far away. Sheltered waters can always be found for a pleasant day’s sailing among the many beautiful islands, while longer passages are an option for those seeking more of a challenge.

Argyll has been described as Scotland’s richest prehistoric landscape and cradle of the Scottish nation, and this unrivalled heritage is a constant backdrop for visiting sailors. They will find a magnificent choice of sheltered anchorages throughout Argyll and the Islands together with many moorings, harbours and marinas. There have been significant improvements with the installation of several pontoon systems and associated facilities in some remote lochs and harbours.
