Panoramic view from the top of Ben Arthur, a.k.a. The Cobbler, during my last adventure in Scotland.

This is a fairly easy walk (11 miles, 4-6 hours) in the southern Highlands near Loch Lomond.

A good warm-up before a failed attempt at Ben Nevis the following day. Pictures to come later.

Top Cowal Hotel Reviews

Portavadie

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect getaway for an overnight pamper. Would prefer to stay two nights to get the full experience. "

Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Abbie checked us in and was lovely, we needed more towels and some heating in the room which she organised immediately. We checked out with Natasha who also was incredibly helpful and organised our breakfast. All the staff couldn’t be more inviting and made us feel very welcome. Thank you! "

Muthu Glasgow River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely unforgettably positive experience! My stay at the Mushu Glasgow River Hotel was a great experience where the room was elegantly impressive, wonderful outdoor view of the river and mountains & the bed was comfortable and kept me very warm in the winter. The room was clean, spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Whilst the shower pressure was a little too low and the temperature difficult to adjust (it remained hot despite multiple attempts to adjust the temperature knob), it worked as intended and I was able to freshen up. My evening dinner was absolutely perfect, delicious, and satisfyingly filling. Compliments to the chef and many thanks to the waiters and waitresses - they were extremely professional, knowledgeable and personable & enhanced my evening experience. (The 'Sex on the Beach' Cocktail was divine... more of that please!) Overall, my stay was captivating in all the right ways, and I might even try visiting the pool next time! I will definitely be attending again. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make my stay so memorable! Kind regards, A patron who will be staying again very soon!"
