Mountain range in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, UK
The Arrochar Alps are a group of mountains located around the heads of Loch Long , Loch Fyne , and Loch Goil . They are part of the Grampian mountains range, which stretch across Scotland.[ 1] The villages of Arrochar and Lochgoilhead are the nearest settlements. Many of the mountains are located on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute , west of Scotland .[ 2]
The mountains are especially popular due to their proximity and accessibility from the central belt of Scotland including Glasgow . They are mostly within both the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and also in the Argyll Forest Park .[ 3] [ 4]
The Glens that give access into the heart of the mountain range include: Glen Croe , Hell's Glen , Glen Mhor and Glen Kinglas .
The A83 , a main trunk road to the west coast of Scotland passes through the area. There is a train station nearby at Arrochar and Tarbet railway station .[ 5] [ 6]
