The Whistlefield Inn is a Category C listed building in Whistlefield, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about twelve miles northwest of Dunoon. Built in 1663, it was originally a drover's inn on the route between Strachur and Ardentinny.[https://www.thewhistlefieldinn.com/en-US Whistlefield Inn's official website][https://play.google.com/store/books/details/John_COLEGATE_Colegate_s_Guide_to_Dunoon_Kirn_and?id=AR5bAAAAcAAJ Colegate's Guide to Dunoon, Kirn, and Hunter's Quay (Second edition)] - John Colegate (1868), page 53 It sits about {{convert|1300|ft}} from the eastern shores of Loch Eck.[https://books.google.com/books?id=IbkHAAAAQAAJ&dq=the+whistlefield+inn+history&pg=PA157 The Highlands of Scotland, Mountford John B.
