Argyll geography / climate

Mainland Argyllshire is characterised by mountainous Highland scenery interspersed with hundreds of lochs. The Inner Hebrides is a large number of islands that fall within the region. The islands present a contrasting range of scenery from the relatively flat islands of Coll and Tiree to the mountainous terrain of Jura and Mull.

Mainland (north)

The northern mainland section of Argyll consists of two large peninsulas – Ardnamurchan and Morvern – divided by Loch Sunart . A large inland section – known traditionally as Ardgour – is bounded on the east by Loch Linnhe . This loch gradually narrows, before turning sharply west in the vicinity of Fort William (where it is known as Loch Eil)

Mainland (south)

The southern mainland section of south Argyll is much larger than the northern . The long Kintyre peninsula lies only 13 miles (21 kilometres) from Northern Ireland . The coast is complex, with the west coast being heavily indented and containing numerous sea inlets, peninsulas and sub-peninsulas .

Inner Hebrides

Argyllshire contains the majority of the Inner Hebrides group, with the notable exceptions of Skye and Eigg (both in Inverness-shire) The islands are too geographically diverse to be summarised here . Further details can be found on the individual pages below .
