North Connel is a hamlet on the north side of Loch Etive in Argyllshire.
Connel Bridge connects the community to Connel on the south shore of the loch, five miles from Oban.[1] While the bridge belonged to British Rail, a toll was charged to cross. Once sparsely populated, the number of houses in North Connel quickly increased after the bridge was handed over to Argyllshire County Council in the late 1960s.
Oban Airport or Connel Airfield is nearby.[2]
