Neighborhood info

Glenbranter is a hamlet on the northwest shore of Loch Eck in the Argyll Forest Park, on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute in the West of Scotland. One of the jewels of the Forest Park, Glenbranter has trails from a short stroll among ancient oaks to a challenging all-day bike ride. The first trees of what was to become the Argyll Forest Park were planted here in the 1920s, after entertainer Harry Lauder leased the ground to the Forestry Commission. Later, Glenbranter village was built for workers who came here to work the forests of Cowal. Just 3 miles away is the peaceful village of Strachur, overlooking the beautiful Loch Fyne. Here you will find a local store, cafe, and the famous Creggans Inn Hotel and Restaurant. Within an easy driving distance visit historic Inveraray and discover the magnificent Inveraray Castle. An ideal location to experience what this wonderful region has to offer; local fresh produce, walking tracks, local attractions, fishing and so much more. Visit Loch Fyne Oysters and Fyne Ales Brewery, both located at the head of Loch Fyne.
