The Brack is a mountain, located in the Arrochar Alps, around the Loch Goil to Glen Croe area. The second peak can been seen around about Loch Long, and the main peak can been seen around about Glen Croe and Loch Goil. It is on the Ardgoil range, which is located on the east and north east side of Loch Goil and the west side of Loch Long until the lochs join at the bottom of Loch Goil. The Brack is connected by ridges to Ben Donich and Cnoc Coinnich. The Brack is over 2500ft and is known to have been a corbbet. The Brack is surrounded with huge mountains that rise towards 3000ft. It is much harder to climb The Brack from lochgoilhead, but it is also harder from Glen Croe. The mountain is steep, rocky and susceptible to landslides. Glen Croe, Arrochar Alps, Ardgartan and Loch Goil are home to Pine Martens and eagles because of the rugged terrain.
