Overview

Circular walk of 11 miles from Rothesay.  We will pass a couple of Lochs (Osprey possible) and picnic by the seashore.  Great views of the Firth of Clyde and Arran.  Walking is on good paths and roads.  Boots are not required except after wet weather but a couple of fields have cows or sheep and long grass.  In the woodland, the vegetation will be at its highest.  Poles not needed. Although not strenuous, there are some sharp ascents but they are soon over.

There is a bit of road walking, cows and sheep to pass but midges might be  bigger nuisance.
