General Description:

If you have a love of historic buildings and are seeking a unique opportunity to breathe new life into a property rich in character, look no further.

There is a good range of quality hotels and restaurants in the locality and visitors are drawn to Armadale Castle, gardens and Museum of the Isles and the modern Torabhaig Distillery.
