Ford, Argyll

Ford (Scottish Gaelic: Àth na Crà) is a small Scottish village at the southern end of Loch Awe, Argyll. The village grew from just a stopping point on the drove route to Inveraray, until it eventually gained a church, school, blacksmiths and a village shop. The Ford Hotel dates back to 1864 and was probably erected on the site of the old change house. Today it is a guest house with the name Ford House and is a listed building. Over time the school and the blacksmiths closed.

Located at 56.1774, -5.43036 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
