| Although only a small village, Dalmally is divided into several parts. First are the community health centre, the Pharmacy and Post Office, new houses of Glenview, the village school, Glenview Stores and the police station, with St Conan’s Well opposite. After Glenview on the A85 is Craig Villa guesthouse and next comes Dalmally Hotel, an old coaching inn enlarged to cater for coach parties. |  Dalmally Hotel |
| In spring the crocuses, daffodils and narcissi spill onto the nearby verges and create an oasis of colour on this stretch of the trunk road to Oban. On the grassy triangle opposite the hotel is a strangely shaped stone said to have served as a seat for a tired Robert the Bruce en route to one of many battles fought in the area. The old part of Dalmally lies along the former main road, now a loop bypassed by the A85. | |
 Glenorchy Shinty Pitch, Dalmally |
|
| The turnoff is just past Dalmally Hotel and opposite the shinty pitches and the Auction Market. Sheep and cattle are sold from a wide area, and on market days the roads are thronged with cattle floats and farmers’ vehicles. |  Dalmally Auction Market |
| Here, too, usually on the first Saturday of September, Dalmally Agricultural Society holds one of the country’s foremost Country Shows. Glenorchy Lodge Hotel, the village hotel, Dalmally Church Hall, the railway station (with three trains a day to Glasgow and three to Oban)and Dalmally Village Hall are all in this part of Dalmally. Behind this area are pleasant forest walks, one of which leads to the remains of an even older village, Barr a’ Chasteilean. On the summit of a hill overlooking Dalmally is a monument to the renowned Gaelic poet Duncan Ban MacIntyre. From here there are panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. | |
