Tayvallich Harbour and village in typical Scottish weather...a bit of sun with rain all around, with the ancient Knapdale Forest and yachts lit up by the low morning sun.

Tayvallich is a small village in the Knapdale area of Argyll and Bute, in Scotland. The village name has its origins in Gaelic, and means the "house of the pass". The village is built around a sheltered harbour on Loch Sween. It has a primary school, caravan park, pub and village store. The local economy is based on tourism and fishing. There is also a local bus service that takes the older children to nearby Lochgilphead where the nearest high school is situated. Tayvallich has become a popular sailing centre. During the summer months a ferry (RIB) operates from Tayvallich to Craighouse, Jura, six days a week.
