Parks & Nature
A short but rocky walk in a fabulous gorge, leading up to a beautiful meadow. A 'do it if you dare' wire bridge. If you are sure footed and bold this is also good when wet as the river rages below - but take care!

Shopping
A selection of our favourite places:
The Highland Soap Company - they have a shop on the High St that sells their lovely toiletries and also newer larger shop just out of town by Old Inverlochy Castle (walkable and cycleable from Argyll Road). This runs soap making workshops as well as having a cafe, full selection of their products and a gift shop with a great selection of gifts and Scottish goods. Its well worth a visit.
The Granite House: you'll find this on the High St, it has a good selection of jewellry, handbags, some toys, plus more unusual,modern British and Scottish brand clothing and great gifts. Its a really good example of a modern gift shop and I find it hard to leave without having bought something.
Great indépendant gift shop, packed with unusual jewellery, clothing, bags and gifts!
