Kames (Scottish Gaelic: Camas nam Muclach[citation needed]) is a small village on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, 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. Kames has a grocery shop (containing a post office, and relaunched under new management as the "Kames Village Store" in late 2016), a church and an hotel.[2]
The Kames Hotel has views over the west arm of the Kyles of Bute. [3]
History
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.[4]
Sport and leisure
The Kyles of Bute golf club is located above Kames and was founded in 1907. It is a nine-hole course and has no bunkers, as the terrain provides enough hazards on the course.[5]
Notable people
The artist Hamilton Macallum (1841–1896) was born in Kames.
