Coylet

Coylet is a hamlet on Loch Eck, Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, in West Scotland.

The hamlet is within the Argyll Forest Park, which is itself within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. It developed around a coaching inn on the A815 road that leads to Dunoon, the main town on the peninsula.

The name may be derived from Gaelic caol ait, "narrow place".

Coylet Coaching Inn
The Coylet Inn is a 17th-century coaching inn overlooking Loch Eck, and originally known as the Loch Eck Inn. The building is believed to be haunted, by the ghost of a drowned boy. It was badly damaged by fire on 7 July 2015. The Coylet reopened on 31 May 2019 after the fire damage had been repaired.
