Argyll Highlander & the Isle of Bute
8 Day Coach Holidays - 7% Discount

Tour Highlights
Isle of Bute tour, Rothesay, Oban, Kyles of Bute, Tighnabruaich, Inveraray, Loch Lomond, Luss

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.
