Situation
Brass Mans Hand is situated within the centre of the attractive and popular tourist destination town of Inveraray in the heart of Argyll & Bute.

Inveraray is a classic 18th century planned town that was built on the site of an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. The town is known as the western gateway to the Highlands and Islands. There is a good range of local shops and provisions stores including a mid-size co-op. There are also boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. The George Hotel has always drawn people to the area and has an enviable reputation for providing award winning food and drink as well as hosting regular live entertainment at the weekends. Loch Fyne Oysters is also a destination eatery located to the north of the town at the head of Loch Fyne.

Glasgow, about 64 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (22.6 miles) providing access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. Inveraray is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban.

The locality of Loch Fyne-side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits. The forest tracks around Inveraray offer lovely country walks and safe off-road cycle routes.

Inveraray has a 9-hole golf course, the nearest 18 hole course is at Lochgilphead. The Loch Fyne Hotel has a swimming pool and Spa.
