Kilfinan is a hamlet on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland. Located on the eastern side of Loch Fyne, the hamlet is 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of the village of Tighnabruaich.[1] Kilfinan is the burial place of the clan chiefs of the Lamonts, in the 13th-century Kilfinan Parish Church.[2][3]

The hamlet is also home to the Kilfinan Hotel for over 300 years which started off as a coaching inn.
