Clachaig

Clachaig (Scottish Gaelic: Clachaig) is a small settlement, on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[1][2] It is located on the B836 road between the Holy Loch and Loch Striven. The hamlet is just over a mile long.

The Hamlet consists of twenty-two houses and was built for accommodation for the workers of the powder mill. The mill manufactured gunpowder. [3]

The river at the bottom of the glen is the Little Eachaig.

Clachaig is a Gaelic word meaning 'stone place'.
