This visitors' guide describes the heritage, landscape, climate, flora and fauna of the Kintyre peninsula. The area is shaped like a finger, pointing from the heartland of Argyll to the Gaelic homeland in Northern Ireland. The new ferry link with Antrim has put Kintyre firmly on the tourist map.

Getting to know the Kintyre peninsula - getting there, getting around; geology and prehistory - man in the landscape; Vikings and Christians - Kintyre as a Norse "island"; royal castles and strongholds - Kintyre in the Middle Ages; the Campbells are coming - Kintyre in the 17th century; Victorian Kintyre - the arrival of industry and tourism; Kintyre in the 20th century - decline and rejuvenation; from warlocks to Horlicks - the island of Gigha; walks and excursions - places to go.
