The history of Scotland is not all about William Wallace, Culloden and Bannockburn, there are endless opportunities to visit the past in and around Argyll. Take time to see the spectacular castles in the region such as Dunstaffnage - stronghold of the MacDougalls, Kilchurn, Inverary, and Duart on the Isle of Mull.
For religious historians be sure to delve into Ardchattan Priory and one of Scotland's most sacred sites Iona Abbey.
If Wallace and Robert The Bruce do interest you make the journey to the imposing, grand Stirling Castle which towers over Bannockburn and Stirling Bridge. There is also the Wallace Monument nearby.
