Lying above Glen Kinglas, 4 miles north of Lochgoilhead,[2] Stob an Eas forms part of the Arrochar Alps and is the essence of remote Argyll scenery.

It forms the western edge of a ridge running between the shore of Loch Fyne, south of Cairndow and Beinn an Lochain, at the head of the Rest & Be Thankful and Butterbridge at Glen Croe.

Glen Goil, believed to have once been the head of the loch, is surrounded by more of the Arrochar Alps, including Ben Donich.

To the south-east of Stob an Eas lies Gleann Mor, leading west to the Rest & Be Thankful.

Ardgartan, on the western shore of Loch Long, forms a gateway into the Arrochar Alps through Glen Croe to the picturesque landscapes of Argyll.
