Muasdale

Muasdale is a small village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Situated on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula, it lies on the A83 road approximately halfway between Campbeltown to the south and Tayinloan to the north.

The village overlooks the Kilbrannan Sound, offering views towards the Isle of Arran. Muasdale is primarily a residential area, with some tourism during the summer months due to its coastal location and proximity to nearby attractions. Fishing and agriculture have historically been important to the local economy.

The name "Muasdale" likely derives from Gaelic, though the specific etymology is debated. One interpretation suggests it relates to a "mountain valley" or a valley with a specific type of stone.

Amenities in Muasdale are limited, with residents often travelling to Campbeltown or Tayinloan for shopping and services. The village does, however, offer opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. Its relatively remote location contributes to its peaceful atmosphere.
