About Lochead

Lochead lies on Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, reached via the A83 from Glasgow through Lochgilphead, then local coastal roads. The Atlantic-influenced climate stays mild year-round with frequent rainfall keeping the landscape green. About five public fast EV chargers serve the area, mostly in nearby Lochgilphead. The name derives from Gaelic "ceann locha" meaning "head of the loch," marking its position at a sheltered sea inlet perfect for mooring fishing boats.
