The Kyles of Bute
The Kyles of Bute is one of Scotland's finest stretches of coastal scenery. A narrow, sheltered sea loch winding between the Cowal Peninsula and the Isle of Bute. You can walk the shoreline path from the village, watch the sailing boats tack through the narrows, or sit in the garden and take it all in.
Tighnabruaich Sailing School
One of Scotland's most celebrated sailing schools sits right in the village. Tighnabruaich Sailing School has been providing an unsurpassed sailing experience on the Kyles of Bute for over 50 years. Located at Carry Farm on Argyll's Secret Coast, the stunning scenery and sheltered coastal waters make it an unforgettable experience for all ages. When you hear the Waverley Paddle Steamer approaching, go and enjoy the bustle as it docks.
Ostel Bay & The Bothy Café
You are 10 minutes' drive from the peaceful swimming beach at Ostel Bay — a good place to bird watch. The walk to the beach is enjoyable in itself. Sit under the trees at The Bothy Café and if you are lucky, a robin may take crumbs from your hand.

If you feel like pampering yourself, Portavadie Marina is only 5 miles away. It has an excellent restaurant too.
Argyll Coffee Roasters
Tighnabruaich is very proud of its award-winning Argyll Coffee Roasters. Their coffee is sold locally and enjoyed in the cafés.
