Cowal

Cowal is a peninsula of Argyll in the Scottish Highlands. The northern part of Cowal is mostly the mountainous Argyll Forest Park. Cowal is separated from the Kintyre peninsula to the west by Loch Fyne, and from Inverclyde and North Ayrshire to the east by the Firth of Clyde. The sea lochs Loch Long and Loch Goil lie to the northeast, and the south of peninsula is split into three forks by two further sea lochs, Loch Riddon and Loch Striven. The Isle of Bute lies to the south of Cowal, separated from the peninsula by the narrow Kyles of Bute.
