Kames (Scottish Gaelic: Camas nam Muclach[citation needed]) is a small village on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland, on the shore of the west arm of the Kyles of Bute.

[1] Kames is now part of a continuous coastal strip of housing that joins onto Tighnabruaich.

[3] Between 1839 and 1921 the village was involved in the transit of gunpowder that was made in the nearby inland settlement of Millhouse.

The gunpowder plant owners built a pier and quay for the transport of their products.

[7] The village is served by the 478 Dunoon–Portavadie bus, operated by West Coast Motors.
