Colintraive (Scottish Gaelic: Caol an t-Snàimh) is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

The Colintraive Hotel was owned and run by Ken Sykora for 5 years during the 1970s before his wife's alcoholism forced them to sell up.〔(Cinema Listings | Leisure | Homepage - The Oxford Times )〕 A Heritage Centre opened in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Colintraive Heritage Centre )〕 The nearest town of notable size is Dunoon, which is twenty minutes drive away on the east coast of the peninsula, facing Gourock and the River Clyde.
