Ardminish is the sole village on Gigha, a small isle of the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Kintyre, in Argyllshire. The village is connected to the mainland by a regular ferry service that runs to Tayinloan.
Ardminish has the island's pier, post office and shop.
The name Ardminish means "The headland of the narrow point", from a mixture of Gaelic and Norse.
