Arduaine (Scottish Gaelic: An Àird Uaine, lit. 'green/fertile promontory or headland', pronounced "Ard oo an-ye") is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
Arduaine is a tiny hamlet just south of Kilmelford. On the reef just outlying, it has very good, classic Scottish diving, with scallops, lobster and many local Melfort prawns and "Squat" lobsters.
From a small pier, the holiday cottages on the Island of Shuna are kept supplied during the holiday season
The residents mainly Lord it over the poor peasants of Kilmelford and many past Kilmelford village elders have moved from Kilmelford to the utopia of Arduaine.They still visit Kilmelford to do great and good especially when a cake sale or lunch is on at the village hall
