Situation
Springbank is situated in the picturesque coastal village of Tighnabruaich on the west coast of Scotland.

The house is located in the preferred local area, Rhubaan and from its prominent setting there are breathtaking, spectacular and often dramatic outlooks over the famous water and landscape known as the Kyles of Bute with beautiful views over to the Isle of Bute, The Holy Isle, south to Inchmarnock and the high tops of Arran’s Goat Fell.

Tighnabruaich is a well-known sheltered anchorage with moorings that are always lively with the comings and goings of boating and yachting craft. One of its highlights must surely be the regular berthing of the famous Waverley, reputed to be the world’s last sea going paddle steamer. Always a sight to behold as she berths at Tighnabruaich pier with day trippers.

The village centre is a comfortable walk and offers a Doctor’s surgery and local amenities that cater for everyday needs. A bus service runs from Tighnabruaich to both Rothesay and Dunoon.

The city of Glasgow is 56 miles distant (via a pleasant boat crossing to Gourock) or by road directly via A83/82. Glasgow has numerous retail districts and all the higher educational, cultural and leisure services normally associated with a major international centre.

Tighnabruaich has a reputable and award-winning primary school and secondary is available at Dunoon Grammar.

The area is famous for its dramatic natural scenic beauty; yachtsmen and women from all over the world sail through the scenic Kyles from the Clyde marinas and on through the Crinan canal and out to the Hebridean islands. A new marina and restaurant complex at Portavadie is 5 miles to the west and offers facilities such as a leisure centre with indoor and outdoor infinity pool and beauty treatment rooms. Portavadie also hosts facilities supporting great mountain bike trails in the area.

Spingbank is located on the Cowal way, a 57-mile walking route traversing the Cowal peninsula that passes through five small villages on its way to Loch Lomond: Tighnabruaich, Glendaruel, Strachur, Lochgoilhead, and Arrochar. Starting from Portavadie, the experience includes the lovely Kyles of Bute, tranquil scenery in Glendaruel, secluded forest walking, panoramic views over the Clyde coast from open hillside and the spectacular heights of the Arrochar Alps. Reaching Inveruglas on Loch Lomond may be your terminus, or perhaps you will have the chance to cross Loch Lomond by water bus (in season). The route is known as “Scotland in 57 miles” because of the variety and splendour of its scenery. Formerly known as the Cowal Way, in November 2018 its name was extended to Loch Lomond & Cowal Way, reflecting the fact that 50% of it runs within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.

Tighnabruaich offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits. Kyles of Bute Golf Club is a scenic and challenging 9-hole golf course. The village is home to one of Scotland’s most famous shinty teams, Kyles Atheltic and there is a tennis court and inevitably, a famous sailing school.

Tighnabruaich lies on “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. It is an area of stunning natural beauty where there are countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations. Nearby activities include walks in forests or along the coast, fishing, kayaking or sailing and enjoying the wildlife.
