Welcome to Taynuilt, on the Shore of Loch
Etive
Some twelve miles east of Oban, in the heart of the West Highlands,
lies the community of Taynuilt.
This is Taynuilt village in its scenic grandeur....
A place where meadow meets mountain and river meets sea.
This thriving village is an ideal place to stay
whether you are looking to tour the area on foot, by bicycle,
car, bus or train, rise to the challenge of the local munros
or enjoy less energetic pursuits.
There is plenty to see and do for all ages. Try exploring the
historic ironworks, venturing inside the hollow mountain, lazing
on the beach, cruising the loch, playing a round of golf, visiting
the smokehouse exhibition, walking the forest tracks or visiting
a garden.
Images of the area
The village nestles at the foot of Ben Cruachan
(1197m) - the hollow mountain - whose mighty peaks dominate
the skyline to the east. To the north and west, Loch Etive steals
the scene while to the south, the ground rises towards woods
and moorland.
