Fairy Glen Isle of Skye, Scotland
Fairy Glen Isle of Skye, Scotland
Hell's Glen is a glen on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll, Scotland. The glen is within the Argyll Forest Park that is itself within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
Panoramic view from the top of Ben Arthur, a.k.a. The Cobbler, during my last adventure in Scotland.

This is a fairly easy walk (11 miles, 4-6 hours) in the southern Highlands near Loch Lomond.

A good warm-up before a failed attempt at Ben Nevis the following day.  Pictures to come later.
Loch Eck, just north of Dunoon.
