Strone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strone is a village on in Argyll in south-west Scotland at the point where the north shore of the Holy Loch becomes the west shore of the Firth of Clyde. The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic for nose, and applies to the hill above the village as well as to Strone Point. It adjoins the settlement of Kilmun on the loch, and the village of Blairmore on Loch Long. It used to have its own pier and was a regular stop for the Clyde steamer services. A high road on the side of the hill serves additional houses including a Scottish baronial style castle above the point, which used to be a youth hostel and still forms a landmark clearly visible from the other side of the Clyde.
It is on the A880 road.
