Why Argyll and Bute?
Argyll and Bute has 23 inhabited islands, including Bute, Islay, Jura, Mull, Iona, Coll and Tiree, more than any other local authority in Scotland. The area is also home to Loch Awe (at 41 km, the longest freshwater loch in Scotland) and several long sea lochs, which bisect the landscape.
Everyone loves a wedding – and Argyll and Bute is no exception. If you are planning a special ceremony in the future, take a look at what the Argyll and Bute area has to offer.
