The Loch Awe Carriage

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.
