Glenfinart, a glen in the N of the Kilmun portion of Dunoon and Kilmun parish, Cowal, Argyllshire. It is traversed by the Finart, which, rising on Ben Bhreac at an altitude of 1750 feet, runs 4 5/8 miles south-eastward till it falls into Loch Long at a point 5 furlongs N of Ardentinny. Over its lower and finely-wooded half it takes down the road from Whistlefield Inn on Loch Eck; and in its mouth, 4 ½ miles N by W of Blairmore, is Glenfinart House, a Tudor edifice of the first half of the present century. Its owner, Gen. Sir John Douglas, G.C.B. (b. 1817), holds 15,579 acres in the shire, valued at £2590 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 37, 1876.
