The 2009 Guide Book

The Cowal Way with Isle of Bute

Michael Kaufmann and James McLuckie

The Cowal Way runs for 57 miles (92 km) across the Cowal peninsula, which lies

west of Glasgow and has ferry links with the Isle of Bute. The route starts at

Portavadie on Loch Fyne and ends at Inveruglas on Loch Lomond. There are ferry

links also to the Kintyre Way and to the West Highland Way, and thence to the Great

Glen Way. It's the missing link that enables Scotland's ultimate long-distance walk,

from the Mull of Kintyre all the way to Inverness.

The trail is waymarked and undulating, with rugged terrain and glorious views over

Bute and the Firth of Clyde. The area is rich in history and heritage, with wildlife

sightings including red squirrel, red deer and golden eagle.
