Tighnabruaich
Tighnabruaich is a village 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 road to Ormidale was integrated in the late 1960s, and till then the town was more reliant on the sea for the transport of guests as well as products. A pier was perhaps built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a leader of MacBrayne. It was a stopping location for paddle cleaners as well as Clyde puffers. The wood pier was restored in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate who had it from 1840 up until 1950. George Olding possessed it till 1965 when it ended up being the duty of the local council. Passenger services on and also around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was presented into service in 1812 and tourist established with the introduction of cruises through the Kyles around Bute, to Arran and along Loch Fyne. The pier is made use of by the paddle cleaner Waverley. Its Royal National Lifeboat Institution inshore lifeboat station currently has an Atlantic 85 type lifeboat and also tractor on station. Tighnabruaich is preferred for sailing and also yachting and also has a cruising school. Shinty is the major sporting activity in the village which is house to Kyles Athletic that have won extra Camanachd Cups than any other team apart from Newtonmore as well as Kingussie.
