Cairndow

Scotland's Adventure Coast

Lying in an idyllic setting at the head of Loch Fyne, near the mouth of the River Kinglas, the village of Cairndow is set just off the A83 which is the main route from Glasgow to Inveraray.

Despite its size, it has many attractions for visitors, including the Stagecoach Inn, one of the oldest coaching inns in Scotland.
