Neighbourhood information

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. Nearby Strachur is only three miles way. 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. With picturesque villages dotted along the east shore of Upper Loch Fynethere are many places to stop and enjoy the scenery and local hospitality in Strachur, St Catherines, Cairndow wth the world renown Loch Fyne Oyster Bar at the head of the Loch.
