Kintyre Peninsula (The Mailand Island)


Scotland


Kintyre west coast of Scotland







The Kintyre peninsula is well worth a visit, the scenery is breathtaking, if you have the time you should stay on the B roads they are very narrow with passing places, but the views are well worth the effort

The Tarbert hotel comes recommended as a family friendly place to stay.
