Product Description
Product Description
This visitors' guide describes the heritage, landscape, climate, flora and fauna of the Kintyre peninsula. The area is shaped like a finger, pointing from the heartland of Argyll to the Gaelic homeland in Northern Ireland. The new ferry link with Antrim has put Kintyre firmly on the tourist map.
