Taynuilt (Scots: [ˈtəinəlt]; Scottish Gaelic: Taigh an Uillt [ˈt̪ʰɤj ən̪ˠ ˈɯiʎtʲ], meaning 'the House by the Stream') is a large village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland located at the western entrance to the narrow Pass of Brander.
The narrows form a natural crossing to Bonawe on the north shore, and for centuries the village was a staging post and resting place for travellers.
A small hill immediately to the east of the main street of the village was the site of Killespickerill, which was built in 1228 as the seat of the Bishop of Argyll.
On the north shore of Loch Etive more extensive ruins remain of Ardchattan Priory, which was founded in 1230.
It stood just to the north of the village, between the rivers Nant and Awe, making use of timber from the local forests for charcoal fuel to smelt iron ore brought by sea from England.
The effects of coppicing trees for charcoal burning can still be seen in local woods where, for a time, during the early part of the 20th century, birch brooms for use in steel mills were manufactured.
The modern village has a population of about 800 and is separated into a number of neighbourhoods, including Kirkton, Ichrachan, Airds and Hafton.
Taynuilt Golf Club lies immediately to the northwest of the village and enjoys scenic views over Airds Bay.
