Walk: Cnoc nan Gabhar - Carradale Circular
Argyll & Bute | Carradale | Half day walk | ★★★★
[Arran, seen from Cnoc nan Gabhar] |
As is the case along much of Kintyre's eastern coastline, all eyes will be firmly set on the Isle of Arran during this walk - with Ailsa Craig also peeking out further south. Full marks to Forestry and Land Scotland - they've created a circular route to the top of Carradale's local hill, on decent (albeit exhaustingly steep) paths which only deteriorate briefly at the very top.
