Arrochar
Arrochar; is a village situated near the head of Loch Long, on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands. The village is within the Loch Lomond as well as The Trossachs National Forest. Historically in Dunbartonshire, it is overlooked by a team of hills called the Arrochar Alps, as well as in particular by the unique rough top of the Cobbler. It enjoys excellent interactions as it is at the joint of the A83 and A814 roads as well as is served by Arrochar and Tarbet train station. On top of that the A82 road runs through Tarbet 2 miles to the eastern. For over five centuries this area, the feudal barony of Arrochar, was held by the chiefs of Clan MacFarlane as well as before them by their ancestors the barons of Arrochar. The family is Celtic in the male line as well as native to their Highland homeland of tall tops and also deep lochs simply over the waist of Scotland. The negotiation was a key target for Viking raiders that took their boats 2 miles overland to Tarbet to assault the unprotected inland negotiations at Loch Lomond prior to their loss in 1263 at the fight of Largs. The western end of Arrochar notes the typical limit of Argyllshire as well as Dunbartonshire, and also this continued to be the instance under local government reorganisation in 1975. However, in 1996 the borders of Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire were considerably redrawn, bringing the whole area right into Argyll and Bute.
