Kintyre is a region of western Scotland located at the south-western tip of the Argyll Peninsula.
The region stretches approximately 30 miles from the Mull of Kintyre (immortalised in song by Paul McCartney) in the south to East Loch Tarbert in the north.
As such, Kintyre has long been a prized area for settlers, from the early Scots who migrated from Ulster to western Scotland and the Vikings or Norsemen who conquered and settled the area just prior to the start of the second millennium.

The Kintyre peninsula proper lies south of Tarbert (from where the ferry to Portavadie on the Cowal peninsula leaves) and is an area of Scotland which is much neglected by the majority of visitors, which is their loss and your gain.
The tiny villages along this eastern coast enjoy their situation in the lee of the main hills of the peninsula and give no hint that you are about to come upon the busy port of Campbeltown which nestles at the head of its sheltered loch.
South of the town the tiny roads cut through the hills to a scattering of dwellings on the famous Mull of Kintyre which overlooks the coast of Ireland.

 Kintyre Peninsula
Kintyre is on the extreme west coast of Scotland, joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at Tarbert and has all the characteristics of island living without the hassle and expense of ferry crossings (though you can come by ferry as well.)
Pick up the Kintyre Trail on the A83 just north of the beautiful, bustling fishing village of Tarbert, a haven for yachtsmen from all over the country and host to the second largest yachting regatta in the UK, as well as home to some of the finest eating places in Scotland.
By total contrast the East coast road to complete the Kintyre Trail climbs and plunges from one river gorge to the next; one moment there is wild moorland, then forest, but all the time with magnificent views across the Kilbrannan Sound to the Island of Arran.
