About Kintyre and the Islands
Kintyre and the Islands is genuinely peaceful. There's been no reported crime over the last three years, and you get clean Atlantic air as standard. Rents sit well below the Scottish average, so your money stretches further and families get more space.
You're in a rural setting, but the mainland stays within reach thanks to ferries and small aerodromes. Local primaries and a secondary school on Islay support families, plus there's a Gaelic unit if that matters to you. You'll find 26 restaurants, cafés, and pubs dotted around, which adds real character to the place.
The trade-off is that a weekly supermarket run or dentist visit means travelling further afield. That's just how it works out here.
