Tayvallich

Tayvallich (pronounced TAY-vee-AL-ich;[citation needed] Scottish Gaelic: Taigh a' Bhealaich [t̪ʰɤj ə ˈvjal̪ˠɪç]) is a small village in the Knapdale area of Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland.

The village name has its origins in Gaelic, and means the "house of the pass".

The local economy is based on tourism, fishing and has become a popular sailing centre.

During the summer months a fast passenger ferry (catamaran) operates from Tayvallich to Craighouse, on the island of Jura across the Sound of Jura, four days a week.

Towards the north end of this peninsula an isthmus is formed about a kilometre wide and the east side has an almost landlocked bay which is where Tayvallich is located and the west side of the isthmus is Carsaig Bay.
