Things to do
The Cobbler is a popular climb with (on a clear day!) incredible views over the peninsula out towards Arran. The Cobbler is Ben Arthur. Part of the Arrochar Alps, Ben Arthur has three peaks, and is said to look like a cobbler bent over their work – hence the name!
Getting there: Drive up to the village or Arrochar at the top of Loch Long.
