Scotland’s answer to Route 66, covering stunning coastlines, white sandy beaches and breathtaking views, has been launched.
The Kintyre 66, or K66, is a 66-mile circular loop around one of Scotland’s most scenic regions, taking in both the west and east coast of the Argyll peninsula, from the top at Kennacraig to the bottom at Campbeltown.
The route has been developed to showcase the west coast of Scotland, which enjoys views across to Northern Ireland on a clear day.
Inspired by Route 66 in the US, the K66 journey can be taken by bike, foot or car, with the aim of encouraging tourists to slow down following a stressful year.
Covering the six key areas of West Kintyre, Gigha, Machrihanish and Southend, Campbeltown, East Kintyre and Tarbert and Skipness, the route will provide options to start from any point whilst also pinpointing trails, places to explore and natural heritage sites.
