Download Scotland's Argyll, Loch Lomond, & Beyond AudioBook Free
Argyll is the strikingly beautiful and unspoiled mountainous region that separates the Scottish Highlands from the Lowlands. Sea lochs split up its deeply indented and very scenic Atlantic coastline. Inland shimmer numerous freshwater lochs, including world-famous Loch Lomond, Loch Awe, and the picturesque Loch Katrine. Off its western coast surge the myriad islands of the Interior Hebrides, which supply the backdrop for spellbinding sunsets. The Scottish country was created in Argyll. The Scotti invaders came here from Ireland in the sixth century and set up their Gaelic-speaking Dalriada kingdom at Dunadd, so laying the foundations for modern-day Scotland. Recently, Clan Campbell was for a long time the all-powerful force in the region, and the Dukes of Argyll still live in the chic, turreted castle at Inveraray. Increasing from the Firth of Forth in the east, the Stirling region is principally hilly, and extends to 3,192 feet in Ben Lomond. The ancient city of Stirling codes a tactical position in Scotland's thin central belt where most of the country's natural highways converge, and has consequently been the picture of many battles. It was here that William "Braveheart" Wallace and Robert the Bruce earned self-reliance for Scotland. Nowadays, Argyll's strong coast and hills hide not flexibility fighters however, many of Scotland's most characterful inns and small hotels, whose rooms offer intensely peaceful relaxation, and whose kitchens serve a few of the most delicious seafood you will ever taste. The writer, a full-time Scottish citizen, goes on to pay everything of the encompassing area - the history, culture, sightseeing, ways to get around, the places to stay, the restaurants, and much more.
