Pass through the villages of Furness and Minard and about 1/3 of a mile south of Minard (opposite the entrance to Minard Castle) turn right up the private road to Barr House. Beyond Barr House the road continues to a private driveway leading to Limekiln Cottage. Situation Limekiln Cottage has a wonderful elevated position looking across Loch Fyne to the Cowal peninsula. The property is approximately 12 miles south of Inveraray. Minard is a sleepy west coast village with post office and primary school while Inveraray is a bustling yet charming town, occupying a lovely position beside Loch Fyne. Just north of Minard is Crarae Garden, a National Trust for Scotland property, noted for its exotic woodland and rhododendrons. Loch Fyne is famous worldwide, not just for its outstanding beauty but also for the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar which harvests the deep tidal waters of the sea loch to provide a sustainable supply of fresh fish and shellfish. Inveraray itself was built on the site of an earlier fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. In the mid 1700s he demolished the old village in favour of a grand castle and embarked on one of the most ambitious rebuilding programmes ever seen in the Western Highlands. The result is the classic 18th century planned village with straight, wide streets and dignified Georgian homes which remain today and also Inveraray Castle, still home to the Duke of Argyll. Inveraray offers many amenities including a primary school, post office, specialist shops and a range of professional services. Tourist attractions include the castle and the forbidding Inveraray Jail. A regular ferry crosses Loch Fyne between Tarbert (23 miles from Barr) to Portavadie. Portavadie Marina has grown significantly and now offers excellent boating facilities, restaurants and hotel accommodation. Some of Britain’s most spectacular scenery is found in this area of Scotland. There is superb hill walking and climbing, with the ’Rest and be Thankful‘ pass leading up through the Arrochar Alps which include four Munros (mountains over 3000 feet). It is also a renowned area for field sports, particularly stalking and shooting. Lochgilphead sits in a sheltered glen at the head of Lochgilp, an arm of Loch Fyne. The town originated as a fishing and market village but is now a prosperous hub for the area of Mid-Argyll. The town provides a variety of amenities and shops including a sports centre and library as well as the main primary and secondary schools. The local hospital is currently being extensively upgraded to provide an even better local service to the community. The neighbouring village of Ardrishaig is at the start of the Crinan Canal and is a popular destination for sailing and other watersports. The Crinan Canal provides a link from the Firth of Clyde to Crinan and the Sound of Jura to the Western Isles.
