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 constructed in the late 1960s, and until then the village was more reliant on the sea for the transport of travelers as well as freight. A pier was potentially integrated in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of MacBrayne. It was a stopping place for paddle steamers as well as Clyde flatterers. The wooden pier was restored in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate that had it from 1840 till 1950. George Olding possessed it up until 1965 when it came to be the obligation of the local council. Passenger solutions on and also around the Clyde were developed after the PS Comet was presented right into service in 1812 as well as tourism developed with the intro of cruises via the Kyles around Bute, to Arran as well as along Loch Fyne. The pier is used by the paddle steamer Waverley. Its Royal National Lifeboat Institution inshore lifeboat station presently has an Atlantic 85 type lifeboat and also tractor on station. Tighnabruaich is prominent for sailing as well as yachting and has a cruising institution. Shinty is the significant sporting activity in the town which is house to Kyles Athletic who have actually won more Camanachd Cups than any other team besides Newtonmore and also Kingussie.
