Kintyre is on the west coast of Scotland between the islands of Arran and Islay only a few miles from the north east tip of Ireland.
The Kintyre Way is a new 89 mile long distance walking route, opened in Summer 2006, running the full length of the beautiful Kintyre peninsula on the West coast of Scotland and stretching from Tarbert at the north end of the peninsula, to Southend in the south.
The route takes us from the harbour to the ruin of Tarbert

Along the way you will find a variety of wildlife including
