Arduaine (Scottish Gaelic: An Àird Uaine, lit. 'green/fertile promontory or headland', pronounced "Ard oo an-ye") is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
Arduaine is a tiny hamlet just south of Kilmelford. On the reef just outlying, it has very good, classic Scottish diving, with scallops, lobster and many local Melfort prawns and "Squat" lobsters.
From a small pier, the holiday cottages on the Island of Shuna are kept supplied during the holiday season.
Arduaine Gardens[edit]
Arduaine is home to the Arduaine Gardens which are in the care of the National Trust for Scotland and listed on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[1][2]
