We were drawn to South Cowal, and the village of Innellan for several reasons.
Having grown up in central Scotland but living and working abroad for much of our lives we wanted to live in and be part of a semi-rural community when re-settling back in Scotland.

Everything we could research, and on one visit, indicated that the South Cowal area had much of what we wished for.

We wanted to live in a quiet, scenic area with access to services such as public transport, a local shop/post-office, golf course, pub-restaurant, health care, grocery and other stores. We also needed it to be within reach of our family and friends, Glasgow, and a major airport.

Since living here we’ve found even more to appreciate and enjoy than we anticipated. Community mindedness was the first thing we noticed, from the Lido, a community owned shop, the Village Hall’s social events and groups as well as the volunteers of Inspiring Innellan and their endeavors.

We love the ever-changing views of the Clyde, watching the weather patterns change in the skies, the many beautiful places to walk and the wildlife.

We love living in, and feeling part of, this vibrant, friendly, creative and caring community.
