The
Cowal Way in Argyll
Cowal is part of Argyll, in the SW of the Scottish Highlands.
Paradoxically, at one and the same time it is very accessible
yet very little known. Despite its barriers of sea and hill,
this is especially surprising because there is so much to recommend
it - beauty, great peace and wildness, together with a long
a fascinating history. The Cowal Way, conceived by Jim McLuckie
of Colintraive and Glendaruel Community Council, is a mini long
distance footpath running the length of the Cowal Peninsula.
This pocket sized guide book describes, in six day-by-day sections,
a continuous walk across the Cowal Peninsula. The guide begins
with brief introductions to the Way and the Cowal Peninsula,
followed by a summary of each of the thirteen walks. It is packed
with full colour section maps, all kinds of information specific
to each section including geographical, historical and archaelogical
facts and a most useful "Walking and Safety Tips"
section.
