Everything about Cowal totally explained
Cowal is a
peninsula in
Argyll and Bute in the
Scottish
Highlands. The northern part of Cowal is mostly the
mountainous
Argyll Forest Park. Cowal is separated from the
Kintyre peninsula to the west by
Loch Fyne, and from
Inverclyde and
North Ayrshire to the east by the
Firth of Clyde. The
sea lochs
Loch Long and
Loch Goil lie to the northeast, and the south of the peninsula is split into three forks by two further sea lochs,
Loch Striven and to its west
Loch Riddon. The
Isle of Bute lies to the south of Cowal, separated from the peninsula by the narrow
Kyles of Bute which connect the Clyde to Loch Riddon.
Much of Cowal was once held by the Lamont Clan; encroachments by the neighbouring Campbells and other powerful families reduced the Lamond holdings in the Covenanting Wars of the seventeenth century.
Cowal's only
burgh is
Dunoon in the south east, from which
ferries sail to
Gourock in Inverclyde. Other ferries run from
Portavadie in the west to
Tarbert in
Kintyre, and from
Colintraive in the south to
Rhubodach on the Isle of Bute.
