Airds

Scotland

Airds perches on Kintyre's eastern shore, overlooking the Sound of Kilbrannan with Arran beyond. Reach it via the A83 to Campbeltown, then the B842 coastal road north - about 40km from Campbeltown or 160km from Glasgow through Tarbert. The narrow coastal route demands careful driving, especially in winter. Two fast EV chargers serve the area, though Campbeltown offers more reliable charging options. The nearby ruins of 12th-century Saddell Abbey mark where Cistercian monks once farmed these windswept lands.
