Depending where you stay, but from Inveraray to Kilneuair is a bl**dy long walk there and back, save the old legs, I will drive you there, I think you will find the place moving in an emotional way, it's one of those places not on the tourist trail, not grand to look at, just a pile of stones and a tumble down wall, but knowing the history of the place, and having ancestors that could have worshiped there brings the place alive in ones mind.
Just to wet your appetite, here is the view from the ruins of the old church towards Loch Awe
I remembered that picture. That picture is one of the reasons I want to go there. I get a sense of TIME from that picture. I'll save you the rest of the ranting.
Thank you.
