Argyll and Bute

S3, E2: Accompanied by her Batsford Guide, Penelope’s journey starts with a ferry ride across Loch Fyne, to the Kintyre peninsula. Penelope learns about the local Viking saga, now heartily celebrated by the villagers of Tarbert, before venturing north to see how the Crinan Canal, with the help of a holidaying Queen Victoria, transformed life here and created Scotland’s most beautiful short cut.
