The Cobbler

The Cobbler (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Artair) is an 884 metres (2,900 ft) mountain located near the head of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

[3] The three summits are tightly grouped around a small corrie (glacial cirque), but their form is due to large-scale landslipping, not ice erosion.

The Summit and South Peak are the remnants of a ridge which has visibly slipped away into Glen Croe, making much of the west side hazardous or impassable.

A newly constructed path has now been built, by-passing the tramway and zig-zagging up the hillside to give a more gentle ascent through an area of forestry.

Beside the route described above, the summits may also be reached starting from the A83 Rest-and-be-Thankful road through Glen Croe to the west,[1] by following the rocky south-eastern ridge up from Loch Long, or from the Bealach a' Mhàim.
