Argyllshire has a stunning topography and landscape. The Scottish Highlands
dominate the county, as does the Trossachs National Park, which covers
the area from the far south all the way up to Loch Linnhe, which cuts
off part of the county in the northwest. The coastline is deeply indented
with numerous small islands, both sea and fresh water lochs, steep valleys,
narrow coastlines and inland forest and heather covered hilltops.
|
||||||
|
The
county is inundated with steep valleys and inlets that cut into the landscape
in a northeasterly direction. The county is approximately 175 km (109
miles) long from north to south, and the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre
is only about 20 km (12 miles) northeast of County Antrim in Northern
Ireland.
|

|
Due
to the county's deeply indented coastline and mountainous topography it
is unsuitable for cultivation and sparsely populated. The magnificent
unspoilt beauty of the mountains, lochs and coastline are major tourist
attractions, and the area has a wealth of wildlife.
