Road Bridge at Lochgoilhead -

Lochgoilhead (Ceann Loch Goibhle in Gaelic) is situated on the northern shores of Loch Goil, where the Goil river flows into the loch from nearby Ben Donich and Beinn Bheula in the Arrochar Alps. It is a small village of 300-400 people, its remote location in the Argyll Highlands make it a popular retreat for those wishing to sample breathtaking natural scenery, causing the population to double during the summer months. Lochgoilhead became an established settlement in the 1750's with the arrival of Steamers in the clyde estuary. These eventually caused Lochgoilhead to become a holiday destination and the steamer services ran up until 1946.

The ruins of Carrick castle can be found at Lochgoilhead. This was originally built in the 13th century, the ruins which remain today are of a tower house built in the 15th century and burned down in an assault in 1685.

There are two outdoor education centres in the village, The Lochgoilhead National Activity Centre and Ardroy Outdoor Education Centre. Lochgoilhead also has a post office and a village store.
