Lochgilphead

[Lochgilphead]

Capital of Argyll, Lochgilphead's regional importance far outweighs its small size. The town has occupies a pretty (and pretty remote) position overlooking a sheltered inlet of Loch Fyne. Argyll Street is the short but attractive main street stretching back from the main road and esplanade, boasting a decent clutch of independent shops and places to eat. Admittedly there isn't a huge amount to do here, but this has saved the town from becoming a tourist trap, and if exploring southern Argyll by road you're bound to pass through sooner or later. The Crinan Canal also passes close by.

Cleeves Cove

Image
Compared to the underground labyrinths of England and Wales, Scotland isn't generally noted for its caving. Cleeves Cove (also known as the Elfhame - you can guess why) therefore comes as a welcome surprise to unadventurous speleologists: three obvious openings above the Dusk Water in rural Ayrshire lead to hundreds of metres of connected underground passageways through limestone, originally carved by the burn in a different era and climate. The cave was a popular attraction in the 1800's, when a certain John Smith removed tonnes of silt deposits to facilitate access. Past visitors have sadly removed most of the stalactites (baby ones survive), but cave spiders, moths and the reasonably complex network of natural tunnels remain - long enough to cause some serious problems if your torches all failed...

Glen Orchy waterfalls

Image
The River Orchy boasts a trio of fine waterfalls in the secluded middle section of its course between Dalmally and Bridge of Orchy, popular with kayakers yet strangely neglected by most other tourists. But maybe that's about to change: the single-track B8074 follows the glen, and new car parks and paths have made access to two of the falls easier than ever. Each end of the road connects to a major highway, so it makes sense to visit all the falls in turn as part of a circuit from Tyndrum (or as a minor detour on the way to Glen Coe or Oban from down south). These waterfalls aren't notable for their height, but each has an attractive setting, with fine rock architecture carved by centuries of fluvial erosion at Eas Urchaidh in particular. If you have flexibility over when to go, try and visit during moderate flow levels, as full spate conditions would cover the rock outcrops which make each spot interesting.

Walk: The flashy falls of Beinglas

Image
If you've attempted the sodden hill path to Beinn Chabhair, you'll know there's a lot of water up there. Well, it has to go somewhere: specifically, into the Ben Glas Burn. This cascades into Glen Falloch above Invernarnan, and after heavy rain the white curtain of Beinglas Falls can clearly be seen billowing out from the hillside above the A82. Cross the burn at Beinglas Farm (using the footbridge on the West Highland Way) and follow the steep trail up the south bank for the best view of the drop. The burn is quite "flashy" in volume: i.e. it responds quickly to heavy rain, but don't bother visiting after dry weather.
