Tighnabruaich
Tighnabruaich is a town on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. In 2011 the population was 660. It is west of Glasgow and north of the Isle of Arran. The roadway to Ormidale was built in the late 1960s, as well as up until then the town was a lot more dependent on the sea for the transportation of travelers as well as products. A pier was possibly constructed in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of MacBrayne. It was a stopping area for paddle cleaners as well as Clyde flatterers. The wood pier was rebuilt in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate that had it from 1840 up until 1950. George Olding possessed it up until 1965 when it ended up being the responsibility of the local council. Passenger services on and around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was presented into service in 1812 as well as tourism established with the intro of cruises via the Kyles around Bute, to Arran and also 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 tractor on terminal. Tighnabruaich is prominent for sailing and yachting and has a sailing college. Shinty is the significant sporting activity in the town which is home to Kyles Athletic that have actually won more Camanachd Cups than any other team apart from Newtonmore and Kingussie.
