Arrochar Social and Walking Weekend
Overview
Arrochar is a rural settlement located at the head of Loch Long and nestled amongst the high mountains of the Arrochar Alps.
The area is steeped in history, being ruled first by the barons of Arrochar and later by the chiefs of the MacFarlane Clan. In later years the MacFarlanes were known as cattle rustlers and they would steal their neighbours’ livestock by moonlight. This became such a frequent occurrence that the full moon became known as “MacFarlane’s lantern”!
Arrochar was a key target for Viking raiders who dragged their boats 2 miles overland to Tarbet to attack the unprotected inland settlements of Loch Lomond before their defeat in 1263 at the battle of Largs.

Travel & Stay
Originally designed and built in the 19th century, the Arrochar Hotel is one of the most enviably positioned hotels in Argyll and Bute. It is based at the very foot of the ‘Arrochar Alps’ on the shores of Loch Long, only two miles from Loch Lomond. The hotel is basic but offer sa great location from which to explore the area.
At just over an hour from Glasgow and 2 hours from Edinburgh, you can feel a million miles away from it all very quickly.
