About Kintra

Kintra, located on the North-Western coast of the Ross of Mull in Argyll and Bute, is a small settlement known for its picturesque coastal views. Translating to "head of the beach" in Scottish Gaelic, Kintra is home to around 15 permanent residents, with additional seasonal visitors drawn to its charm. The settlement primarily consists of a line of houses that run parallel to the shoreline, making it a unique area for planning applications related to coastal development and tourism.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Kintra area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
