Claddie - A 'get-away-from-it-all' isolated seashore holiday cottage in Scotland

<body> <font size="6"> Welcome to 'Claddie' <br> </font><font size="4"> - a lochside holiday cottage in the highlands of Scotland, set in splendid isolation! </font> <p>You can view our site by clicking on  <b><font color="#0000FF">Contents </font></b><font color="#0000FF"><b>Page</b></font> at the<br> end of this page.</p> <p><b>INTRODUCTION TO CLADDIE</b></p> <p> Although within two delightful hours' drive of the motorway system, Claddie lies in <br> isolation at the mouth of a spate salmon burn, surrounded by some of Scotland's finest <br> unspoilt scenery - the mountains and lochs of Argyll. This really is getting away from it all!</p> <p><br> A solid stone cottage, it now has comforts that were unknown to the fishing family of 200 <br> years ago: pine-lined walls and ceilings, mains electricity, double glazing, natural limestone <br> water pumped from a distant spring. Being out of range of mobile phone networks, we have <br> laid a mile of armoured cable to provide a telephone for your convenience. </p> <p><b>Accommodation - </b>for details of the sleeping and living accommodation in the cottage please<br> click on <b><font color="#0000FF"> The Cottage</font></b>  on our Contents page. </p> <p><b> Wildlife</b> - there is abundant wildlife, right on your doorstep. For some details please click <br> on <b><font color="#0000FF"> Wildlife</font></b> on our Contents page. </p> <p><b> Fishing</b> - we offer you both river and sea fishing; the use of our rowing boat is included<br> in the rental of the cottage (April to October). For further details please click on <b><font color="#0000FF">Activities</font></b>  <br> on our Contents page. </p> <p><b> Other local attractions and places to visit</b> - in case you tire of swimming, walking, fishing <br> and beachcombing (some never do), there are heaps of interesting things to see and do in the <br> area - sailing, golf, tennis, steamer trips, highland games, historic houses and Ceilidhs. <br> For further details please click on <b><font color="#0000FF">Activities</font></b>  on our Contents page.  <br> <br> <b> How can I get to Auchalick Bay?</b> - by car there are basically two ways from Glasgow, both <br> full of scenic interest. One of them includes a ferry across the Firth of Clyde, the other takes you <br> along Loch Lomond and over the Rest and be Thankful pass. The final 2 km of the drive to <br> Claddie is on a rough, gated farm road; low-slung cars have to take it very carefully. <br> We'll send you route details with points of interest on the way. If you plan to come by public<br>  transport, it is just about possible - details on request. If you come by sea, the bay provides <br> a moderately sheltered anchorage. </p> <p> Tigh Cladaich (house by the burn) is the Scottish (Gaelic) name of the cottage, but most of <br> our guests find 'Claddie'  easier to get their tongue round!!
