Stallion Rock

Probably the best scenic dive in the Clyde and its Sea Lochs. Loch Fyne. Leaving Glasgow on the A82 turn left at Tarbet onto the A83, through Arrocher and over the rest and be thankfull and through Inveraray turn left into furnace. Double back up the Loch in a northerly direction, taking the old road that runs through / past the quarry and heads back up in the direction of Inverary again. Follow the track for approximately 1-2 miles until you see a little road running off down to your right. This is steep and ill-maintained and about 20 yards long, terminating in a small car park area suitable for about 4 vehicles. Walk down through the trees to the shore (about 60 meters ). This is a steep, muddy, rocky path. It can be treacherous. Be wary if you are not dive-fit. At the shoreline in all but high water you should be able to see Stallion Rock breaking the surface just out in front of you. There is a little rocky area where you enter the water. Swim out and slightly to the left about 5m over the shallow shelf until you reach the drop-off. The cliff is straight down and drops to about 35-40m. Or by boat using GPS and echo sounder. Beware as pinnacle just breaks the surface at low tide.
