Ardlamont Point

Ardlamont Point is a headland in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It forms the southern tip of the Cowal peninsula, in the far south-west of that peninsula. Ardlamont House and its estate lie just north of the point. The waters around the headland separate Loch Fyne on the west from the Kyles of Bute on the east. To the south, these waters join the Firth of Clyde. Kilbride Bay’s sandy beach lies 4 kilometres north-west of the point. The meeting of Loch Fyne, the Kyles of Bute and the Firth of Clyde creates strong tidal streams and shifting currents. These waters have long been used by local fishing boats and leisure craft. Ardlamont House, built in the 19th century, overlooks the point and the surrounding estate. The estate includes woodlands and open moorland that stretch northwards from the shore. Visitors reach Ardlamont Point by following quiet roads through the Cowal peninsula. The headland itself is rocky, with low cliffs and patches of grass. From the point, views extend across the Firth of Clyde to the hills beyond. On clear days, the peaks of Arran can be seen to the south-west. The shoreline below shows the meeting of different water bodies, marked by swirling currents.
