The claw-shaped Cowal peninsula , formed by Loch Fyne and Loch Long, is the most-visited part of Argyll, largely due to its proximity to Glasgow. The landscape is extremely varied, ranging from the Munros of the Argyll Forest Park in the north (now part of the new Loch

Lomond and the Trossachs National Park), to the gentle low-lying coastline of the southwest, but most visitors - and the majority of the population - confine themselves to the area around Dunoon (which has Cowal's chief tourist office) in the east, leaving the rest of the countryside relatively undisturbed. The island of Bute is separated from the peninsula by the merest sliver of water; its chief town, Rothesay , rivals Dunoon as the major seaside resort on the Clyde.
