Highlander & the Isle of Bute - Scotland Coach Tours - 8 Days Tour Highlights • Isle of Bute tour • Rothesay • Oban • Kyles of Bute • Tighnabruaich • Inveraray • Loch Lomond • Luss • Lochs and mountains of Argyll |
Dunoon, rightly known
as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’, relies on its delightful
setting on the Firth of Clyde and the sheer beauty of the
Cowal Peninsula to enchant its visitors. The resort itself
boasts two fine bays, beautiful parks, and a four-mile long
promenade that provides some of the most perfect level walks.
This, together with visits to Loch Lomond, the spectacular
highlands and islands of Argyll, and a journey over to the
lovely Isle of Bute, make this holiday a wonderful choice
in every way. |
