The roadway to Ormidale was built in the late 1960s, as well as till then the town was much more dependent on the sea for the transport of guests and freight. A pier was perhaps built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a leader of MacBrayne. It was a stopping place for paddle steamers as well as Clyde puffers. The wood pier was restored in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate who owned it from 1840 up until 1950. George Olding owned it up until 1965 when it ended up being the duty of the regional council. Passenger solutions on and around the Clyde were created after the PS Comet was introduced into solution in 1812 as well as tourism established with the introduction of cruises through 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 type lifeboat and tractor on station.

Shinty is the significant sport in the village which is home to Kyles Athletic who have won more Camanachd Cups than any other team in addition to Newtonmore and also Kingussie.
