Visit Scotland and come and stay at Innish on Seil Island near Oban in Argyll
for bed and breakfast or self-catering accommodation

Cross the bridge (built circa 1792) and you enter another more relaxed world of an island community,
but with the advantage of a bridge connection to the mainland of
ARGYLL on the beautiful  WEST COAST OF SCOTLAND.

INNISH is situated beside Clachan Bridge, on the Isle of Seil.
"The Bridge over the Atlantic Ocean"

 With a nine hole golf course, boat trips and charters, one Inn, a hotel, a seafood restaurant
and an excellent local Store at Balvicar plus several shops on the island, so you will not have
to travel far to find a place to eat out or find something to do.

 Seil, being the most accessible island of the Nether Lorn area of Argyll,
makes Innish an ideal base for touring and exploring the nearby islands
and this beautiful part of the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland

CUAN and KILBRANDON
En route to Cuan is Kilbrandon & Kilchattan Parish Church, home to a
remarkably good collection of stained glass windows, and well worth a visit in its own right.

... Killin Church was re-built in 1744...in the form of a Celtic cross with an octagonal dome.
        The church contains an unusual seven-sided baptismal font from the 9th Century
         and the church bell still in use dates back to 1632.
    The old churchyard can be entered from the riverside of the hotel and contains some
pre-reformation gravestones, which are worth viewing.
     The village of Killin located within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
.... in the ancient district of Breadalbane (from the Scots Gaelic "Braghaid Albainn"
        meaning "The High Country of Scotland").
