Historical Note
Cruachan is protected by a category ‘C’ listing with historic Scotland. Directly to the rear of Cruachan is the category ‘C’ listed detached Barn Brae Barn. It is a two storey stone former barn where only the character outer walls now exist. The structure constitutes a significant survival of the agricultural development of the Fisherlands area of Inveraray during the late 18th century. Probably retaining its original 1770s form and plan, ventilation to the former upper-level hayloft is provided by distinctive slits with slanted embrasures at all elevations. These lend the structure a considerable part of its character. The building was part of a group of agricultural improvements made by the 5th Duke of Argyll to the Fisherlands area of Inveraray estate during the early 1770s.

Situation
Cruachan is situated at the southern fringe of the side of the attractive and popular tourist destination town of Inveraray in the heart of Argyll & Bute. Cruachan is on the side of the A83 and from where there are simply wonderful views out across the head of Loch Fyne to the Cowal peninsula land mass adjacent.

Inveraray is a classic 18th century planned town that was built on the site of an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. The town is known as the western gateway to the Highlands and Islands. There is a good range of local shops and provisions stores including a mid-size co-op. There are also boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. The George Hotel has always drawn people to the area and has an enviable reputation for providing award winning food and drink as well as hosting regular live entertainment at the weekends. Loch Fyne Oysters is also a destination eatery located to the north of the town at the head of Loch Fyne.

Glasgow, about 61 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (23 miles) providing access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. Inveraray is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban.

The locality of Loch Fyne-side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits. The forest tracks around Inveraray offer lovely country walks and safe off-road cycle routes.

Inveraray has a 9-hole golf course, the nearest 18 hole course is at Lochgilphead. The Loch Fyne Hotel has a swimming pool and Spa.

Mid-Argyll presents some of the most dramatic seascapes and landscapes on the West Coast of Scotland. Sea, river and loch fishing are easily available, as are a number of organised private and commercial low ground shoots as well as deer-stalking. There are excellent opportunities for boating/yachting on Loch Fyne, leading not only to the Clyde estuary but also to the Crinan Canal across the Mull of Kintyre to the Hebrides and the Atlantic.
