Wandelgids Kintyre and South Argyll | Pocket Mountains

Rugged, wild, sparsely-populated and gouged by misty sea-lochs, South Argyll was once known in Old Gaelic as Airer Goidel, the 'Coast of the Gaels' and remains a place apart. The hills and glens here are steeped in history and littered with standing stones, hillforts and castles, as well as unique wildlife-rich habitats created by the warming Gulf Stream. This book explores the very best of Knapdale, Kintyre and the Cowal coast as well as the Isles of Gigha and Bute with walks to suit all abilities, many of which utilise the long-distance walking trails which criss-cross the area.

Wandelgids Oban and North Argyll | Pocket Mountains

This guidebook covers a large swathe of Mid and North Argyll, sweeping inland from the fractured western seaboard between Crinan and Appin to Arrochar and Bridge of Orchy on the region’s eastern periphery. Between these four points lies a landscape awash with sea lochs, with Inveraray roughly at the geographical centre. There are no large urban areas here and Oban is the largest settlement. Although the road network and public transport infrastructure are good, many routes feel off the beaten track. This is not only down to the low scattered population but also to the indented coast and its many islands, the sea lochs encroaching deep inland, the elongated freshwater lochs and the mountainous interior – making road travel much more convoluted than direct ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distances would suggest. As well as many great sea lochs, tumbling rivers and iconic mountains, Oban and North Argyll also boasts ancient, wildlife-rich woodlands and several fine gardens. Add to this the Crinan Ca…
