Lag Mhòr is a Gaelic term that translates to "big hollow" in English, which accurately describes the geography of the area.

The headland is characterized by towering cliffs that stretch out into the Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These cliffs are composed of ancient rock formations, displaying layers of sedimentary rock that have been shaped by the forces of erosion over millions of years. The headland is also home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, gannets, and guillemots, which nest on the cliffs and provide a picturesque sight for visitors.

Lag Mhòr is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography. The headland is accessible via a well-maintained coastal trail that provides access to various vantage points along the cliffs, allowing visitors to take in the stunning vistas and observe the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area.

In addition to its natural beauty, Lag Mhòr also holds historical significance. The headland is believed to have been an important site during ancient times, with evidence of human occupation dating back thousands of years. Archaeological remains, such as standing stones and burial mounds, have been found in the vicinity, indicating that Lag Mhòr was once a significant location for early settlers.

Overall, Lag Mhòr in Argyllshire is a captivating coastal feature that combines natural splendor with historical intrigue, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
