Loch Goil is surrounded by mountains. According to a walkers’ guidebook by Tom Prentice, “Surrounded by high hills Lochgoilhead offers classic western seaboard scenery. It feels more remote than all the other areas”. The surrounding hills combine a distinct character with a level of solitude that is almost impossible among the ‘Arrochar Alps’.”
Loch Goil is a deep glacial seawater fjord surrounded by high wooded hills. The sea loch’s Marine Protected status supports an array of nationally significant species from the unique Loch Goil Sea Squirt to the sea weeds, kelps and shore creatures, porpoises, dolphins, otters, and fish including the Wild Atlantic Salmon spawning in the River Goil. There is a colony of grey seals on the shore of Loch Goil. Around the loch there is a great variety of birds from the smallest bird in the UK, the Gold
Crest to the largest, the Golden Eagle. In the woodlands there are deer, red squirrels, badgers, pine martens and various small mammals and amphibians.
