This magnificent stretch of rugged hill country was the very first Forest Park for public enjoyment to be established in Britain, back in 1935. Many visitors who have come to know the Argyll Forest Park, its mountains, glens, lochs and woodlands, claim that this first park is also the finest of them all.

Mammals: Come along and see. We have information about Red squirrel, Red deer and Roe deer

Insects and reptiles: Come along and see.

How to Get There:
There are two equally appealing approaches to the Forest Park from Glasgow. Follow the M8 to Gourock or Greenock and take the ferry (see ferry links in the right hand column), or take the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond through Tarbet, entering the Park at Arrochar.

For public transport information follow the Traveline Scotland link under the Useful sites section opposite.
