Loch Fyne

 

Famous for its stunning sea loch and renowned seafood, fish, meat and game, Loch Fyne is situated on the west coast of Argyll and Bute in Scotland. At 40 miles long it is Scotland's longest sea loch, and is known for its established oyster fisheries, herring fishing industry (the Loch Fyne Kipper), and is a popular tourist destination for fishing, diving, golf and walking. The original Loch Fyne Seafood and Grill restaurant sits in a remote spot at the head of Loch Fyne, where all of the company's seafood is sourced.

On your coach shuttle drive to our wedding venue at Stonefield Castle, you'll approach Loch Fyne via its mountainous road, which winds through the Arrochar Alps passing the popular walking destinations of Beinn Bhuidhe, Glen Shira, Glen Fyne, Glen Croe, Arrochar, Tyndrum and nearby Loch Lomond. You'll also pass through the picturesque loch-side town of Inverary, ancestral home to the Duke of Argyll at Inverary Castle. The Castle was demolished and completely rebuilt in 1744, and stands as a striking example of a castellated Scottish Georgian mansion. The town was rebuilt into its current form a little later in the 1770s, and was designed and built by the celebrated Edinburgh architect Robert Mylne. It was built to house the castle's estate workers, and also included a woollen mill and a pier for herring fishing, and stands today as one of Scotland's finest examples of an 18th-century "new town."
