Colintraive, Playground

Pretty much as no-frills as it gets — just an open grass field in this quiet little village on the Kyles of Bute. No fancy equipment, no climbing frames, but kids who need to run and kick a ball around won’t care. It’s the kind of spot that works because the surroundings do the heavy lifting, with the water and hills right there. If you’re passing through on the ferry route, it’s a decent enough stop to let the kids stretch their legs.
