Scotland Cycle Routes > Argyll and Bute
Nestled in the Northwest area, there are many sights to see. On land, beautiful scenery is only the start. There is 5 castles to explore, 2 national parks and 1 forest park. If feeling adventurous there are more than 25 islands (easily accessible by ferry for most). On these islands are breath taking beaches, magnificent scenery and of course, the friendly highland cows.
