Darroch Mhor is a small privately run development set on the tranquil shores of Loch Goil, just over an hour drive from Glasgow.
Situated on the tranquil shores of Loch Goil, Darroch Mhor is reached by a five mile single track road which descends between the mountains offering truly spectacular scenery from the well known 'Rest and be Thankful' Pass.
With a front window view of Loch Goil and distant hills it is often possible to see Deer and many other wildlife. Of additional interest is the 'Big Oak' which is reputed to be one of the oldest oak trees in Europe (reputed to have been planted by Mary -Queen of Scots during her imprisonment in Carrick castle).
A short drive from Carrick is the village of Lochgoilhead, offering fishing and many other sports including climbing and boating. Loch Goil itself is ideally situated to offer safe boating, fishing and other water sport activities.
On land the Argyll Forest Park provides trails and paths over the hills and glens, past some of the loveliest scenery in Scotland; for the more adventurous there is a wide variety of indoor and outdoor pursuits available at Lochgoilhead (approximately 4 Km) including a 25 metre swimming pool and nine hole golf course.
With many attractions within a short run from Carrick, Darroch Mhor offers the ideal base for day trips to many tourist attractions.
Visit historic Oban "the gateway to the isles", which hosts the renowned Highland pipe band championships or Cruachan - Europe's first hydroelectric power station built 1km into a mountain. How about Seil Island with the only bridge across the Atlantic, or the many gardens thorough Argyll.
