The Journey
Rest and be Thankful

The name itself, inscribed on a stone, encapsulates the relief felt upon reaching this summit. It's a perfect spot to reflect on the raw beauty of the Highlands and breathe in the crisp mountain air.
Inveraray Castle
Step into the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, clan Campbell's chief. Inveraray Castle is an architectural gem, showcasing a blend of Baroque, Palladian, and Gothic styles.

Kilchurn Castle
Journey to the evocative ruins of Kilchurn Castle, dramatically situated at the head of Loch Awe and backed by soaring mountains. This mid-15th century fortress, once a stronghold of the Campbells of Glenorchy, offers a stunning photographic opportunity.
