Inclusions Argyll boasts incredible scenery and an extraordinarily rich tapestry of history and heritage. Discover stately mansions, grand castles and architectural treasures in contrast with tranquil lochs and pretty fishing villages. Sail through stunning landscapes on this perfect, pre-winter break in grand style.

On the Isle of Bute, wonder at the Victorian neo-Gothic mansion of Mount Stuart House, built by the 3rd Marquess. Sailing Britain`s longest sea loch, Loch Fyne, go ashore at Strachur to enjoy a private visit to Ardkinglas House, completed in 1907 for Sir Andrew Noble, before venturing to the home of Sir Charles and Lady McLean, Strachur House. A castle has been standing at Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne since the 1400s, although the impressive castle we know today was inspired by a sketch by Vanbrugh. The fairytale home of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll hosts a behind the scenes tour of their private apartments.

At the pretty village of Ardrishaig, learn of local heritage and maritime history at the new community hub, the Egg Shed, whilst at the mouth of Loch Fyne, Robert the Bruce`s castle guards the entrance to the harbour at Tarbert, home to a working fishing fleet. Step ashore on Arran to explore the scenic village of Lochranza, overlooked by the imposing ruin of its castle, before a private viewing of Ardgowan House which has been sitting on land that has been in the Shaw Stewart family for over 600 years. On the shores of Holy Loch, the 19th century Kilmun church is adorned with magnificent stained glass windows by Stephen Adam. Your final port of call is Charles Rennie Mackintosh`s Hill House, the epitome of his finest domestic Art Noveau style, now protected by `the Box`, a steel framed structure constructed to prevent further damage by the rain.
