Argyll's Bowling Green, a range of mountains in the NE of Cowal, Argyllshire, occupying the peninsula northward from the junction of Lochs Goil and Long. Precipitous, rugged, and lofty, they present a savage and sublime appearance, with mural cliffs, jumbled masses, and wildly jagged summits; and they form a magnificent background or sky-line to most of the splendid landscapes seen from the north-westward and the northward parts of the upper sweeps of the Firth of Clyde. Summits, from S to N, are Meall Daraich (474 feet), Clach Bheinn (1433), Tom Molach (1210), the Saddle (1704), Beinn Reithe (2141), Cnoc Coinnich (2497), and the Brack (2500).
