Artificial Mounds in Argyll, Scotland

Having been cut off for centuries from the rest of Scotland by the mountains and sea lochs that characterize the region, Argyll remains remote. Its scatter of offshore islands form part of the Inner Hebridean archipelago. Geographically as well as culturally, it is a transitional area between Highland and Lowland, boasting a rich variety of scenery, from the lush, subtropical gardens warmed by the Gulf Stream to the flat, treeless islands in the countryside. The interplay of land and water and the views out to the islands, are where the strengths and beauties of mainland Argyll lie.
