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 neglected by a group of mountains called the Arrochar Alps, and also in particular by the distinct rocky top of the Cobbler. It enjoys excellent interactions as it goes to the junction of the A83 and A814 roads as well as is offered by Arrochar as well as Tarbet railway station. Additionally the A82 roadway goes through Tarbet two miles to the eastern. For over 5 centuries this location, the feudal barony of Arrochar, was held by the principals of Clan MacFarlane and prior to 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 heights and deep lochs simply above the midsection of Scotland. The negotiation was a key target for Viking raiders who took their boats 2 miles overland to Tarbet to strike the unguarded inland negotiations at Loch Lomond before their loss in 1263 at the fight of Largs. The western end of Arrochar notes the typical border of Argyllshire and Dunbartonshire, and also this continued to be the case under city government reorganisation in 1975. Nevertheless, in 1996 the borders of Argyll and Bute as well as West Dunbartonshire were considerably redrawn, bringing the entire location right into Argyll as well as Bute.
