Loch Fyne is Scotland's longest sea loch and it reaches far inland to deep within the Highlands. Ardkinglas Estate encompasses the upper four miles of Loch Fyne and the full length of Glen Fyne and this mixture of sea shore with high rugged hills gives the area a unique atmosphere.
Ardkinglas House sits to the east of the loch, on a fairy tale site amongst ancient woodland. Nearby, the famous Ardkinglas Woodland Garden follows the tumbling waters of the River Kinglas.
Clachan, at the head of the loch, is home to Ardkinglas's Tree Shop and Cafe and to Loch Fyne Oysters' restaurant, smokery and shop. Also at Clachan is Here We Are, an information and community resource centre.
Beyond Clachan, the River Fyne winds northwards past rare hazel woods towards the uninhabited regions of the upper glen, culminating in Ben Lui, 'the Queen of the Scottish hills'.
