25 Walks arrochar, Cowal and bute describes 25 walks in mainly wild and beautiful Highland lanscape close to the Central Belt of Scotland. Arrochar and Cowal forms the part of Argyll between Loch Lomondside and Kintyre, while the Island of Bute lies just to the south, in the Firth of Clyde. The walks range from short town and lochside rambles to longer routes connecting far flung communities, and more strenuous hillwalks. Prehistoric standing stones, a deserted village and waterfalls are only some fascinating features found in these walks.
