Coylet is a hamlet on Loch Eck, on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, West of Scotland.[1]
The hamlet is within the Argyll Forest Park, which is itself within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. It developed around the Coylet Inn, a coaching inn established in the 1650s[2] located 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".[3]
