Arrochar (/ˈærəxər/ ARR-ə-khər; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Àrchar or An Tairbeart Iar) is a village located near the head of Loch Long, on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands. The village is within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The western end of Arrochar marks the traditional boundary of Argyllshire and Dunbartonshire, and this remained the case under local government reorganisation in 1975. However, in 1996 the boundaries of Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire were substantially redrawn, bringing the whole area into Argyll and Bute.

  • Arrochar (/ˈærəxər/ ARR-ə-khər; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Àrchar or An Tairbeart Iar) is a village located near the head of Loch Long, on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands. The village is within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Historically in Dunbartonshire, it is overlooked by a group of mountains called the Arrochar Alps, and in particular by the distinctive rocky summit of the Cobbler. It enjoys good communications as it is at the junction of the A83 and A814 roads and is served by Arrochar and Tarbet railway station. In addition the A82 road runs through Tarbet two miles (three kilometres) east. For over five centuries this area, the feudal barony of Arrochar, was held by the chiefs of Clan MacFarlane and before them by their ancestors the barons of Arrochar.The family is Celtic in the male line and native to their Highland homeland of tall peaks and deep lochs just above the waist of Scotland.The settlement was a key target for Viking raiders who took their boats two miles (three kilometres) overland to Tarbet to attack the unprotected inland settlements at Loch Lomond before their defeat in 1263 at the battle of Largs. The western end of Arrochar marks the traditional boundary of Argyllshire and Dunbartonshire, and this remained the case under local government reorganisation in 1975. However, in 1996 the boundaries of Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire were substantially redrawn, bringing the whole area into Argyll and Bute. (en)

  • Arrochar (/ˈærəxər/ ARR-ə-khər, in gaelico scozzese: 'An t-Àrchar or An Tairbeart Iar') è un villaggio situato vicino alla testa del Loch Long, sulla penisola di Cowal nell'area di consiglio di Argyll e Bute, nelle Highlands scozzesi. Il villaggio si trova nel Parco nazionale Loch Lomond e Trossachs. Storicamente nel Dunbartonshire, è dominato da un gruppo di montagne chiamate Alpi Arrochar, e in particolare dalla caratteristica vetta rocciosa del Cobbler. Gode di buone vie di comunicazione poiché si trova all'incrocio della strada A83 A83 con la A814 ed è servito dalla stazione ferroviaria di Arrochar e Tarbet. Inoltre, la strada A82 attraversa Tarbet 3,2 km ad est. Per oltre cinque secoli quest'area, la baronia feudale di Arrochar, fu detenuta dai capi del clan MacFarlane e, prima di loro, dai loro antenati i baroni di Arrochar. L'insediamento fu un obiettivo chiave per i predoni vichinghi che portarono le loro imbarcazioni, 3,2 km via terra, verso Tarbet per attaccare gli insediamenti interni non protetti sul Loch Lomond prima della loro sconfitta, nel 1263, nella battaglia di Largs. L'estremità occidentale di Arrochar segna il confine tradizionale tra l'Argyllshire e il Dunbartonshire, e questo anche dopo la riorganizzazione del governo locale nel 1975. Tuttavia, nel 1996 i confini di Argyll e Bute e Dunbartonshire Occidentale furono sostanzialmente ridisegnati, portando l'intera area in Argyll e Bute. (it)
