Cairndow

Standing at the head of Loch Fyne, this small village has a curiously shaped white-washed church. Built in 1816, the church is hexagonal with Gothic-style windows in pairs and a tower crowned by an elaborately carved parapet and four turrets.

Within the Arkinglas Estate, on the edge of the village, is the 25-acre Arkinglas Woodland Garden. High annual rainfall, a mild climate and light, sandy soil have created the right conditions for a collection of coniferous trees. The Callander family established the collection in about 1875, and it has seven champion trees that are either the tallest or widest in Britain. There is also one of the best collections of rhododendrons in the country. Arkinglas House itself, designed by Robert Lorimer in 1907, is not open to the public.

At Clachan Farm near Arkinglas you’ll find the Clachan Farm Woodland Walks which allow you to see many species of native tree, such as oak, hazel and birch. The walks vary from a few hundred yards in length to two-and-a-half miles, and take in the old burial ground of Kilmorich.
