Mid-Argyll is a vague term which loosely describes the central wedge of land south of Oban and north of Kintyre. The highlights of this gently undulating scenery lie along the sharply indented west coast, in particular the rich Bronze Age and Neolithic remains in the Kilmartin valley, one of the most important prehistoric sites in Scotland.
LOCHGILPHEAD, on the shores of Loch Fyne, is the chief town in the area, though it has little to offer beyond its practical use: it has a supermarket, several banks and a tourist office at 27 Lochnell St (July & Aug Mon-Sat 9.30am-6pm, Sun 10am-5pm; May & June Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 11am-5pm; April Mon-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat & Sun noon-5pm; Sept & Oct Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun noon-5pm; tel 01546/602344).
