Cowal Description
The Cowal peninsula to the northwest of Glasgow has recently seen an upsurge in popularity. The scenery is magnificent and there are plenty of opportunities for sailing. Long narrow lochs extend from the Firth of Clyde far into the peninsula which enjoys a favorable climate. Glacial action has created a shape which on a map looks like a hand. If coming from Glasgow, cross the Firth of Clyde by ferry from Gourock to Dunoon. It is possible to take a trip around the peninsula starting at Arrochar at the northern end of Loch Long.
