A Thousand Islands, a Thousand Stories
Argyll & Bute encompasses a vast coastal territory from the Clyde sea lochs in the south to the island of Colonsay in the west, taking in the strategic harbours of Campbeltown and Oban, and the fertile gardens of the Gulf Stream-warmed western seaboard.
Argyll's development priorities centre on its working ports — Oban as a ferry hub, Campbeltown for fisheries, and the potential of Loch Striven and Holy Loch for offshore energy support. The region also has significant aquaculture development, particularly salmon.
