Blairmore Pier, built in the mid-19th century, was once a bustling stop for paddle steamers that ferried visitors from Glasgow to the stunning west coast. The pier played a crucial role in the Victorian-era tourist boom, welcoming visitors eager to escape the city for the fresh sea air and scenic beauty of Argyll. The famous Waverley paddle steamer still stops at the pier during the summer season.

Blairmore itself is a quiet, picturesque village with stunning views across the loch to the Arrochar Alps. From the pier, you can enjoy peaceful walks along the shoreline, watching for seals, seabirds, and even the occasional porpoise. A short drive away, the lively town of Dunoon offers a range of shops, cafés, and cultural attractions, including Castle House Museum, which tells the fascinating history of the area.

The Old Ticket Office sits on the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The park offers miles of hiking and cycling trails, scenic drives, and opportunities for wildlife spotting. Adventurous visitors can climb The Cobbler, one of Scotland’s most famous peaks, or explore the stunning lochs and glens of the region. A visit to Puck’s Glen is like stepping into a fairytale. This magical woodland gorge, with its moss-covered rocks, cascading waterfalls, and winding paths, is one of the most enchanting walks in Scotland. Just a few minutes from Puck’s Glen, Benmore Botanic Garden is another must-see attraction. Home to towering redwood trees, vibrant rhododendrons, and exotic plants from around the world, the gardens offer a stunning blend of nature and history, set against a backdrop of dramatic hills. For those seeking unspoiled beauty, Argyll’s Secret Coast is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. A short drive from Blairmore, this remote stretch of coastline is dotted with charming villages, secluded beaches, and breathtaking sea views. Visit Tighnabruaich, a picturesque village offering incredible vistas over the Kyles of Bute, or take a ferry from Colintraive to the Isle of Bute, home to the magnificent Mount Stuart House.
