The Kintyre Way is a fully waymarked trail that criss-crosses the Kintyre peninsula for 100 miles (161 km). Starting from Tarbert in the north, it visits coastal villages and inland lochs, passing through Campbeltown via Southend to its new terminus of Machrihanish.
Our all-new third edition covers the recent major route extension and many other changes. The book includes large-scale mapping by Footprint, and has over 20 new photographs.
Please also consult our online route map which is the most accurate resource available: zoom repeatedly for incredible detail.
