Situation
Wellpark Cottage is situated in an area known locally as Rhubaan which is a pretty coastal ribbon settlement just at the northern fringe of the picturesque village of Tighnabruaich on the west coast of Scotland.

As with most properties in Rhubaan, Wellpark Cottage enjoys a slightly elevated position from where it takes maximum advantage of the spectacular and often dramatic outlooks over the famous water and landscape known as the Kyles of Bute.

Tighnabruaich is a well-known sheltered anchorage with moorings that are always lively with the comings and goings of boating and yachting craft. The village centre is a short walk and offers local amenities that cater for everyday needs. A bus service runs from Tighnabruaich to both Portavadie and Dunoon.

The city of Glasgow is 55 miles distant (albeit interrupted by a not unpleasant boat crossing to Gourock) and has numerous retail districts and all the higher educational, cultural and leisure services normally associated with a major international centre.

Tighnabruaich has a reputable and award winning primary school and secondary is available at Dunoon Grammar.

The area is famous for its dramatic natural scenic beauty; yachtsmen and women the world over sail through the scenic Kyles from the Clyde marinas and on through the Crinan canal and out to the Hebridean islands. Tighnabruaich is a sheltered and scenic deep-water anchorage. Its highlight must surely be the regular berthing of the famous pv Waverley owned and operated by Messrs Caledonian MacBrayne and reputed to be the world’s last sea going paddle steamer. Always a sight to behold as she berths at Tighnabruaich pier with day trippers.

The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits. The Kyles of Bute Golf Club is a scenic and challenging 9-hole golf course. There is tennis and inevitably, a famous sailing school.

Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area, as are a number of commercially run shoots. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.

Tighnabruaich lies on “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. It is an area of stunning natural beauty where there are countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations. Nearby activities include walks in forests or along the coast, fishing, kayaking or sailing and enjoying the wildlife.
