The Cobbler (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Artair) is an 884 metres (2,900 ft) mountain located near the head of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Corbett, and is an important site for rock climbing in the Southern Highlands. Many maps include the name Ben Arthur (an anglicisation of the Gaelic), but the name The Cobbler is more widely used.[1] In the 19th century it was referred to as The Cobbler and his Wife.[2]
