Balnakailly Bay
Drop anchor in Balnakailly Bay, a quiet spot tucked into the Kyles of Bute with that classic west Scotland wildness all around you. The sheltered water and wooded hillsides make it feel genuinely remote, even though Tighnabruaich village is just a short distance away if you fancy stretching your legs ashore.
