Mid Argyll Market
Our ancient ancestors knew a thing or two about, location, location, location; they chose Mid Argyll for their homes and as a result the area boasts some of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in Scotland and an intriguing collection of standing stones and cairns centred on Kilmartin.
Today it’s Lochgilphead, a few miles down the road that’s the centre of Argyll with the council headquarters, a major new school complex and a new hospital. The town has an eclectic mix of privately-owned shops with very few of the multiple national stores getting a look in, giving Lochgilphead town centre a unique, friendly appeal. I
nveraray was the traditional centre of government in days gone by, with its castle home to the Dukes of Argyll and the town boasting an impressive old courthouse and jail. Along the Crianan Canal, beginning at Ardrishaig new homes line the canal locks, and further south sits Tarbert with its picture-postcard perfect harbour and home to Scotland’s largest annual yachting series.
Mid Argyll also has its hidden gems like Ardfern, Tayvallich and Kilberry. With its location at the centre of Argyll both geographically and administratively, Lochgilphead is a top choice for people moving to live and work in Argyll. In Lochgilphead they’ll find a town buzzing with activity or just a few miles out, a commute to work through magnificent country from village communities with plenty going for them.
