The Kyles of Bute have been synonymous with sailing for centuries, so it is no surprise that Tighnabruaich Sailing School has been providing quality dinghy instruction for over 50 years. 

Argyll's Secret Coast has become a popular destination for the serious cyclist. The quiet single track roads coupled with outstanding views and challenging terrain is a winning combination.  This is recognised by the 5 Ferries Challenge that incorporates 4 cycle sections (a total of 52 miles) and 5 ferry crossing in and around North Kintyre and the Firth of Clyde, passing through Tighnabruaich before heading towards Colintraive.

Whether you enjoy sea, loch or river fishing, Tighnabruaich offers it all.  The pier is a popular location for anglers to spend the day with plenty of space to give everyone a bit of elbow room. If you would rather get afloat then contact Donald fromDC Marine who offers trips of over one hour to include the opportunity to try your hand at fishing for Mackerel, Pollock, Saithe, Cod and Codling. All the necessary fishing gear is carried on board. Enthusiastic anglers can charter the boat purely for fishing expeditions and visit the best fishing grounds in the area.

The nine-hole Kyles of Bute Golf Course is a well-kept secret. It must be one of the most scenic golf courses on the west coast of Scotland, with breathtaking views from every tee. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the hill above Kames, the golf course offers panoramic views across the water to the Island of Bute, across Loch Fyne to the Mull of Kintyre and on a clear day, south to the Ayrshire coast beyond Arran.
