The Cobbler hike in Argyll and Bute, Scotland is a challenging yet rewarding 7.2-mile out-and-back trail that offers stunning views of Loch Lomond and the surrounding highlands. The trail takes you through a mix of forest, streams, and rocky terrain, with the final ascent up the Cobbler's south face providing a thrilling scramble. Legend has it that reaching the summit involves "threading the eye of the needle," adding an extra element of adventure to the hike. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and make sure to wear grippy and waterproof footwear. Overall, it's a must-do hike for those seeking a bit of excitement and breathtaking scenery in the Scottish wilderness.
