Tarbert
Tarbert is a village in the west of Scotland, in the Argyll as well as Bute council area. It is developed around East Loch Tarbert, an inlet of Loch Fyne, and extends over the isthmus which links the peninsula of Kintyre to Knapdale and also West Loch Tarbert. Tarbert had actually a recorded population of 1,338 in the 2001 Census. Tarbert has a long history both as a harbour and also as a tactical point player accessibility to Kintyre as well as the Inner Hebrides. The name Tarbert is the anglicised type of the Gaelic word tairbeart, which literally equates as "carrying across" and also describes the narrowest strip of land between 2 bodies of water over which goods or whole boats can be carried (portage). In hobbies freights were released from vessels berthed in one loch, transported over the isthmus to the various other loch, loaded onto vessels berthed there and also delivered onward, enabling seafarers to stay clear of the sail around the Mull of Kintyre. Tarbert was anciently part of the Gaelic overkingdom of Dál Riata and protected by three castles-- in the village centre, at the head of the West Loch, and also on the south side of the East Loch. The ruin of the last of these castles, Tarbert Castle, still exists and dominates Tarbert's sky line. Around the year 1098 Magnus Barefoot, King of Norway, had his longship carried throughout the isthmus at Tarbert to symbolize his ownership of the Western Isles. Despite its difference as a tactical fortress during the Middle Ages, Tarbert's socioeconomic prosperity came throughout the Early Modern duration, as the port became a fishing community. At its elevation, the Loch Fyne herring fishery attracted hundreds of vessels to Tarbert.
