Àird Lungadain is a prominent coastal feature located in Argyllshire, Scotland. It is a headland that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, forming a distinct point along the coastline. The headland is known for its rugged and picturesque landscape, characterized by steep cliffs and rocky outcrops.

Situated in a remote and unspoiled area, Àird Lungadain offers breathtaking views of the surrounding natural beauty. The headland is surrounded by pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and photographers. It is also a haven for wildlife, with various seabirds, seals, and occasionally dolphins being spotted in the area.

The cliffs of Àird Lungadain are composed of a combination of sedimentary rock and basalt, providing a fascinating geological spectacle. The headland is particularly renowned for its distinctive rock formations, shaped by years of erosion from the crashing waves. These formations create a dramatic backdrop and add to the allure of the location.

Access to Àird Lungadain is limited, with a narrow pathway leading to the headland. This helps preserve its untouched beauty and ensures a sense of seclusion for visitors. The headland is a popular destination for hikers, who can explore the surrounding coastal trails and enjoy the tranquility of the area.

Overall, Àird Lungadain is a stunning coastal feature in Argyllshire, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in Scotland's natural splendor. Its rugged cliffs, unique rock formations, and abundant wildlife make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a true coastal experience.

The Old Post Office Lochbuie We came across this old wooden shed, which is the old Post Office at Lochbuie. It is a self serve shop with a small range of goods but surprisingly there was a freezer with venison and other meat at very low prices. There was an honesty box in which you put the money to pay for the goods you wanted. We saw this in 2013 and it may not be the same now.

Loch Uisg Although much of the north shoreline of Loch Uisg is overhung by trees, various streams bring shingle down to form little promontories from which one can get a clear view. Looking east from this one, only a couple of small patches of pink flowers are seen, though parts of the shore are being smothered by invasive Rhododendron ponticum. At the west end, efforts seem to be being made to kill this off, but this will be in vain unless the neighbours cooperate and clear theirs too.

Old milepost The final post on this minor road. It is just west of Moie Lodge. Since being fairly newly painted in 2009 this one has fared the worst of the three posts remaining along this road. Lochbuie must have been a reasonably important place at one time with Lochbuie House and Moy Castle in a sheltered bay on Loch Buie.
