Itinerary description

A circular route up to the Cobbler, also known as Ben Arthur, with yet another Arthur's seat at the top! The Cobbler has a very unique and memorable shape, not to mention the beautiful glen that leads up to it. The main ascent requires a bit of scrambling, hence moderate difficulty, but the hike can be made easier by following the east path up and down.

There are two car parks in Arrochar, one near the start of the trail, which is not free, and another one that is slightly further from the start that is free. See waypoints for the locations.
