Well placed for the wonderful archaeology and wildlife of Scotland's west coast. A five minute drive at dusk and we saw wild beavers, also the internationally important archaeological sites around Kilmartin are only a short drive away. Plenty of other wildlife; eagles, red squirrels, goshawk, sea ducks and woodland birds. The Atlantic rainforests are an amazing place to see ferns, mosses and fungi. Pauline was probably the most attentive host we have stayed with, thanks for all your help.
