Cowalfest 2009, 9th - 18th October

Cowalfest in 2009 will be a very special festival, reflecting our rich heritage, drawing on the peninsula’s fascinating history, telling of links with Burns, celebrating our outstanding and innovative contributions to the world, highlighting global links, remembering ancestors who left these shores in search of new challenges and new lives. All this set within the breathtaking scenery, so inspirational to artists and writers, of Argyll’s Cowal Peninsula with its hills, lochs, firth, forests and the exotic trees and shrubs that flourish in the mild west coast climate, and of course our great diversity of wildlife including red squirels and eagles, not to mention our wonderfully varied and enticing walks.
We’re proud of this breathtaking environment and in 2009, whether you are celebrating your Scottish roots, are a frequent visitor, or have never visited before, Cowalfest will welcome you home.

The programme includes:
- Walks: old favourites and exciting new ones
- Mountain bike rides
