Culture, Heritage & Art in Argyll & the Isles

Scotland's Creative Coast

Argyll has one of the highest concentrations of artists anywhere in Scotland. With expansive coastlines and 23 Islands, it's no wonder people gravitate here to find inspiration in its heritage-steeped landscape. 

Similar in number, our farmers and crofters are passionate about producing the highest-quality food and drink. They are also committed to caring for our environment and protecting Argyll’s landscapes and island seascapes for everyone to enjoy responsibly.

Here, you can discover a selection of remarkable Argyll businesses and learn how to live like a local.

Gaelic

In modern times, Scottish Gaelic thrives within heartland communities and plays a significant role in enriching the visitor experience through a wealth of Gaelic songs, choirs, music and events across Argyll & the Isles.

Today you can see the Gaelic language on road signs across the region, hear it on radio and television, or by locals chatting in pubs!

Gaelic is still spoken by Scots, but many more embrace the rich heritage of traditional music, bagpiping and cultural experiences, such as ceilidhs.
