Kilmartin Glen Viewpoint
This place pre-dates Stonehenge
Take the B8074 up through Glen Orchy which takes you up to Bridge of Orchy. This is a single track road with passing places and parking spots beside the River Orchy which has good walks and waterfalls. Onwards towards Glen Coe you will pass to the edge of the bleak but beautiful Rannoch Moor and the dramatic Buachaille Etive Mor before heading on down through the Glen to the Three Sisters at Glencoe Village.

A beautiful local glen which leads up to Bridge of Orchy. Waterfall and opportunities for walking, swimming. Very popular with lovers of white water when conditions are right !

Generally very quiet place for a walk on good paths through Forestry Commission oak forest. There is a waterfall which is signposted and worth a look especially if there's been a lot of rain. Good for a quiet walk with the dog. What 3 Words ///tastings.remodels.edit

A nice wee beach on Loch Etive (sea loch) at nearby Taynuilt
Classic Munro set amidst Glencoe. You don't have to climb the mountain. The drive alongside Rannoch Moor and through Glencoe is an experience itself.

Go inside Cruachan The Hollow Mountain and see the workings of this (Loch) awesome subterranean reversible pumped storage hydro electric power station. This is one to visit if you love the feel of the sets of those old James Bond films. Filming also took place for many weeks in 2021 on Cruachan for Star Wars :Andor
A great example of Scottish Engineered Zero Carbon Power Generation from the mid 1960s. Many who worked on this and similar projects settled in this area and remain today. Dam Builders and Tunnel Tigers from the 1940s to 1960s worked in the toughest of conditions and deserve recognition for giving us a lasting source of clean, green energy.
