If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 17 miles away, Alexandria is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Balloch Castle, Loch Lomond Shores and Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. Locals will also likely point you toward Lochgilphead, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Kilmartin Glen. (But we’d also recommend Kilmartin House Museum and Arichonan Clearance Village.)
