Old Travel Blog photograph of Dalavich village on the western bank of Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. It is located 30 miles from the main town and port of Oban, connected by the villages of Kilchreanan and Taynuilt. Dalavich is Gaelic in origin and means " meadows or valley of the River Avich ". The village was established by the Forestry Commission in 1952 to facilitate timber operations in the surrounding Inverliever forest.This was labour intensive and horses were used to extract timber from the forest. There is boat hire and fishing permits can be bought locally. Some of the largest trout caught in Europe have come from Loch Awe.
