The Farm

Blarghour is a hill farm of 2,000 acres and home to traditional scottish blackface, cross ewes and luing cattle. Hydro electricity is also generated from Allt Blarghour on the farm. The farm enjoys a lovely outlook over Loch Awe with access to the loch, and waterfalls and old ruined settlements to explore.

Nature & Walks

Loch Awe, with Ben Cruachan at the head of the loch, is 25 miles long and the longest freshwater loch in Scotland. The loch shore is fringed with forrest, woodland and farmland creating a varied habitat for wildlife such as:

Red squirrel
Red deer
Roe deer (often by the roadside in the evening light)
Otter
Pine Marten
Golden Eagle
Osprey (often seen fishing in the bay below Barr-beithe)
Grouse
Dipper (by the shore and in burns)
Common sandpiper
Wagtails (pied and grey)
Woodcock (winter)
Swallows (summer)

There is a bird book in each cottage and a nature diary for you to record sightlings of things you have seen maybe from your cottage or out walking. Hiring a boat on Loch Awe is a great way to be with nature.

Things to See and Do

Fishing on Loch Awe is by permit only and permits are available at the Farm. The surrounding countryside provides river fishing, climbing and hill-walking. Within easy reach during a days exploring are: Glencoe, Fort William and Ben Nevis, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Dunoon and Loch Eck, Oban, Crinan and the Isles of Mull, Iona, Islay, Gigha and Arran, Inveraray Castle, and an 18th Century jail.
