The area is well known for its dramatic and natural scenic beauty and this has always drawn people to the area making it a popular tourist destination. About 6.5 miles by road to the west is the picturesque village of Crinan with its pretty little and sheltered harbour, basin and anchorage. Crinan forms the north western sea end of the Crinan Canal which starts at Ardrishaig in the south on Loch Gilp. The canal is always a colourful spectacle with passing yachting, cruising and pleasure craft using the waterway to connect the inland sea lochs, the Clyde estuary and the Kyles of Bute with the more testing sailing of the western Isles.
