Tighnabruaich is promoted as part of "Argyll's Secret Coast",[1] west of Glasgow, and is located along the east coast of Loch Fyne and stretching into the Kyles of Bute.
Tighnabruaich is popular for sailing and yachting and has its own sailing school.[2] Shinty is the major sport, with the village being home to Kyles Athletic who have won more Camanachd Cups than any other team apart from Newtonmore and Kingussie.[3]
