The Square sits in an area of great natural scenic beauty at the southern end of the Ardlamont peninsula. The assets are the former historic coach houses, stables, cart sheds, kennels and steadings of the square of Ardlamont House, the centerpiece of the Ardlamont estate.

The nearest settlement is the village of Kames which sits just to the south of Tighnabruaich, perhaps its rather better-known neighbour. Kames has its own hotel, post office and shop which easily cater for everyday needs and requirements.

Tighnabruaich, previously voted the prettiest village in Argyll, Lomond and Stirlingshire, is about 1.5 miles further to the north, and is a well-known sheltered anchorage with moorings that are always lively with the comings and goings of boating and yachting craft, all under the protection of the local lifeboat station.

The village centre offers further shops, a post office, garage, gallery, and hotel or self-catering accommodation. A bus service runs from Kames via Tighnabruaich to both Rothesay and Dunoon.

During the summer months, the internationally renowned sailing school is very popular, as is the PS Waverley, the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world, which calls at Tighnabruaich Pier on her way to and from Arran.

Portavadie Marina is 6 miles away and has in recent years seen significant investment in creating a modern state-of-the-art marina infrastructure, with associated chandlery, restaurant, accommodation, and spa facilities. The marina is fast gaining a reputation among the sailing communities as a must-go-to destination and many drive to the marina for culinary days and evenings out.

Tarbert is 11 miles (by boat) to the west and accessible by a direct ferry service from Portavadie.

The city of Glasgow is 60 miles away via the frequent Western Ferries crossing to Gourock, or via the scenic 90-mile route via Loch Lomond. Glasgow offers numerous retail districts, and all the higher educational, cultural and leisure services normally associated with a major international centre.

Tighnabruaich has a reputable and award-winning primary school, and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon Grammar or Tarbert via the short crossing from Portavadie.

The area is famous for its dramatic natural beauty; yachtsmen and women around the world sail through the scenic Kyles from the Clyde marinas and on up through Loch Fyne to Ardrishaig through the Crinan canal and out to the Hebridean islands.

The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits beyond the famous sailing school. There is tennis, and Tighnabruaich Golf Club has a scenic and challenging 9-hole golf course.

Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area, as are several commercially run shoots. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.

Tighnabruaich lies on “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. It is an area of stunning natural beauty with countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations. Nearby activities include walks in forests or along the coast, fishing, kayaking or sailing and enjoying the wildlife.

Directions
From Glasgow city centre, leave in a westerly direction on the M8 motorway. Continue for 21 miles to arrive at Port Glasgow. Follow signs Greenock and Gourock on the A770 for 8 miles to reach the Western Ferry terminal at McInroys Point. Take the ferry to Hunters Quay Dunoon. Leave the terminal and turn right on the A815 through Sandbank. After 3.5 miles turn left on to the B836. Travel for 11 miles before turning right on to the A886. Travel for 1.5 miles then turn left onto the B8003. Travel for 7 miles to reach Tighnabruaich. At Tighnabruaich proceed south through Tighnabruaich to reach Kames. At the crossroads in Kames, turn left and continue on the minor road until it reaches the foreshore. Turn right at the foreshore and continue on the minor coastal road for about 4 miles. As you enter the square of Ardlamont Estate the entrance to The Square is on the right-hand side BEFORE the square buildings."
