Hidden Gems

Discover the architectural and natural diversity of Argyll and Bute, from the eclectic styles of St. Conan’s Kirk to the brutalist concrete ruins of St Peter’s Seminary. This collection features the 8th-century Kildalton Cross, one of Scotland’s finest monolithic high crosses, and the meticulously restored Victorian ceramic interiors of the Rothesay public toilets. Natural highlights include the moss-covered ravine of Puck’s Glen and the Ascog Victorian Fernery, which houses a sub-tropical garden within a sunken glasshouse.
