2.  Meet Our Wildlife

3.  Experience a Loch Cruise

What better than witnessing the sheer beauty surrounding the famous ‘Bonnie banks’, than from the loch itself? Cruise Loch Lomond, just 5 miles from Loch Lomond Holiday Park, and Sweeney’s Cruises on the East side of the loch both offer breath-taking cruises, with 15% discount for Argyll Holidays guests*. Bike hire is also available from Cruise Loch Lomond’s Tarbet base.

4.  Snap Away

Argyll has some of the most stunning scenery in the country – so if you’re looking for a new profile pic for Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, not forgetting a cheeky wee Snapchat then you’ve found the perfect location – there’s lochs, glens and mountains as far as the eye can see.

9. Keep Happy!

Have you ever heard the term “nature deficit disorder”? Genuinely, it’s a real thing. A guy called Richard Louv came up with the term to describe the consequences of being away from the natural world. If we all put down our devices and get out into the great outdoors, it will improve happiness, health and well-being – it has even been said to improve memory, you can’t grumble at that!
