It is west of Glasgow as well as north of the Isle of Arran. The roadway to Ormidale was constructed in the late 1960s, as well as up until after that the town was more dependent on the sea for the transport of travelers and freight. A pier was perhaps built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of MacBrayne. It was a stopping location for paddle steamers and also Clyde flatterers. The wooden pier was rebuilt in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate that possessed it from 1840 till 1950. George Olding owned it up until 1965 when it became the responsibility of the regional council. Passenger solutions on and around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was introduced right into service in 1812 and tourism developed with the intro of cruises via the Kyles around Bute, to Arran as well as along Loch Fyne. The pier is made use of by the paddle steamer Waverley. Its Royal National Lifeboat Institution inshore lifeboat station currently has an Atlantic 85 type lifeboat as well as tractor on terminal. Tighnabruaich is popular for sailing and also yacht and also has a sailing school. Shinty is the significant sporting activity in the village which is house to Kyles Athletic who have actually won more Camanachd Cups than any other group apart from Newtonmore and Kingussie.
