Tighnabruaich
Tighnabruaich is a town on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute in Argyll and also Bute, Scotland. In 2011 the population was 660. It is west of Glasgow as well as north of the Isle of Arran. The roadway to Ormidale was built in the late 1960s, and also until then the town was much more dependent on the sea for the transportation of guests and also products. A pier was perhaps built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of MacBrayne. It was a quiting place for paddle steamers and Clyde puffers. The wooden pier was restored in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate that possessed it from 1840 until 1950. George Olding possessed it until 1965 when it became the duty of the regional council. Passenger services on and also around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was introduced right into solution in 1812 and tourism created with the introduction of cruises via the Kyles around Bute, to Arran as well as along Loch Fyne. The pier is used by the paddle cleaner Waverley. Its Royal National Lifeboat Institution inshore lifeboat station presently has an Atlantic 85 kind lifeboat and also tractor on terminal. Tighnabruaich is popular for cruising as well as yacht as well as has a sailing college. Shinty is the significant sport in the village which is home to Kyles Athletic who have won more Camanachd Cups than any other group besides Newtonmore as well as Kingussie.
