Ardrishaig - Drive Around - Argyll & Bute, Scotland

Ardrishaig is a coastal village on Loch Gilp, at the southern (eastern) entrance to the Crinan Canal in Argyll and Bute in the west of Scotland. It lies immediately to the south of Lochgilphead, with the nearest larger town being Oban. Ardrishaig harbour's first pier was built in 1873. In the 1970s, the village was significantly altered when a row of old houses and shops on the lochside of the main street was demolished to make way for a car park. Most trading now takes place in the neighbouring town Lochgilphead. The village was a filming location for the television series A Mug's Game. Crinan Canal and harbour There are two piers, a lighthouse, slipway and breakwater along the seafront. Scottish Canals has an office by the canal basin. To the north side of the old pier is the Crinan Canal sea lock and to the south are pontoons and anchorage for boats. About 30,000 tonnes of timber pass through the harbour annually but it has the capacity for 150,000 tonnes. John Smith, former Labour MP and Leader of the Opposition, was born in Ardrishaig. #ardrishaig #abplace2b #argyll #gomadgo #scotland #westcoast #village #crinancanal
