About Airds Bay

Airds Bay lies on Loch Etive's eastern shore in Argyll, reached via the A85 from Oban (20km) or through Crianlarich from Glasgow. The dramatic Highland setting beneath Ben Cruachan attracts day-trippers and touring visitors exploring the west coast. About 11 fast EV chargers serve the area around Taynuilt and Connel. The bay provides classic views of Ben Cruachan, which conceals a massive hydroelectric station within its granite heart.
