Crinan is a small fishing village on the Sound of Jura, mid-Argyll in the west of Scotland, situated at the north end of the Crinan Canal which connects Loch Fyne to the Atlantic Ocean. Crinan is famous as the location of the Crinan Canal, a waterway built in 1801 by John Rennie, the Crinan Canal stretches 9 miles across from Crinan to Ardrishaig, providing a shortcut for steamers and fishing fleets from Glasgow across the Kintyre Peninsula which would have been a rough130 mile passage to go around the Mull of Kintyre. The canal and Crinan Loch are abundant in pleasure crafts ensuring the picturesque village is a popular tourists resort, well equipped with a hotel, shops and amenities, a cafe offering home-baked cakes and ‘clootie dumpling’ and a restaurant noted for its fresh Scottish sea-food. Historically interesting features include Duntrun Castle across the loch from Crinan. Activities include exploring the beautiful wooded Crinan Basin and walking along the small paths running parallel to the canal and the lock gates. There is a choice of golf courses in the area including the championship course at Machrihanish. Other activities include cycling, horse-riding and trail-riding, sailing charters and Sea-fari Adventures to enjoy the wildlife, scenery and the opportunity to explore the nearby Hebridean Islands.
