Arrochar
Arrochar; is a town located near the head of Loch Long, on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands. The village is within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Historically in Dunbartonshire, it is overlooked by a group of hills called the Arrochar Alps, and particularly by the unique rocky top of the Cobbler. It enjoys great communications as it is at the junction of the A83 and also A814 roads and is served by Arrochar and also Tarbet train station. Furthermore the A82 roadway goes through Tarbet two miles to the east. For over 5 centuries this area, the feudal barony of Arrochar, was held by the principals of Clan MacFarlane and also before them by their ancestors the barons of Arrochar. The family is Celtic in the male line and native to their Highland homeland of high heights and deep lochs simply over the waistline of Scotland. The settlement was a key target for Viking raiders that took their watercrafts 2 miles overland to Tarbet to strike the vulnerable inland settlements at Loch Lomond prior to their defeat in 1263 at the fight of Largs. The western end of Arrochar notes the typical limit of Argyllshire and Dunbartonshire, as well as this continued to be the situation under local government reorganisation in 1975. However, in 1996 the limits of Argyll and also Bute and also West Dunbartonshire were considerably redrawn, bringing the whole location into Argyll and also Bute.
