Diving is a major sport in Argyll – which has some of the top diving grounds in the UK. Loch Fyne  the longest sea loch in the UK, offers some very interesting and varied diving and has long been a popular area for the sport.

 The village of Furnace in Mid Argyll, on the western shores of upper Loch Fyne, is a focus for many worthwhile dive sites on that part of the loch. These include the sites known as                 Stallion Rock and Furnace Quarry – actually the waters below and around Furnace Pier used to ship out stone from the quarry that paved the streets of Glasgow.

 The quarry is separated from the now-derelict pier – currently the subject of a potential rebuild to ship out locally harvested timber – by the old shore road north to Inveraray.

And this road – or track – is the nub of the matter.
