Loch Awe
is Scotland's longest and one of the largest inland lochs. Offering fabulous views over
to Kilchurn Castle, the coach is the ideal base for exploring
the surrounding area where there is much to see and do - or you
can just laze by the loch, relaxing amidst the glorious Scottish
scenery.

Heaven!"
