Ghost sign

The former Lloydspharmacy in the town has been sold to a new business and the previous branding has been removed. This has revealed a "ghost sign" from a former business - Donald Crawford's jewellers.

Front green improvements

Following a £1.5M investment in the town's public space on the shores of Loch Gilp, the area opened to the public a few weeks ago. This image shows a feature wall, with maps, which separates the upgraded play area on the other side from a large paved public space. More information about the project can be found on Argyll and Bute Council's website Link

A stack of new creels

Creels stacked at the quayside at Ardrishaig.

Fishing boat at Ardrishaig

The fishing boat "Curlew" moored at Ardrishaig in the last of the winter afternoon's light.

Argyll Street

Argyll Street is the main commercial part of Lochgilphead. The sea area in the distance is at the head of the sea loch, Loch Gilp... and so the town's name. The war memorial can be seen in outline against it.

Crinan Canal passing Lochgilphead

The canal heading north as it passes the small town where instead of being cut into the land as most canals are, it's retained against a rising slope by an embankment along which the tow path travels. (The grass to the right is not the path, that's a hard-surfaced way, mainly out of view in the image.)

Restriction to canal width at Ardrishaig

This is the Crinan Canal at its eastern end in Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne. The restriction is less than a kilometre from the sea lock at the end of the canal. There are two concrete 'rafts' appearing to be quite old. One of them at least has the ironwork of what would have been the pivot for the hingeing of a gate of the type used at locks.

Crinan Canal heading north, approaching Lochgilphead

The canal north of Ardrishaig passing an old, lozenge-shaped sign which warned, presumably, of a cable in the vicinity that needed avoiding. The western part of Lochgilphead lies just ahead.

Lochgilphead at the eastern side of Loch Gilp

The buildings of Lochgilphead are mainly on the northern and eastern sides of the head of Loch Gilp. The eastern side can be seen in the image across the water, sand and mud of the loch.

War memorial in Lochgilphead

The monument is at a focal point in the small town. The image shows its rear with commercial buildings across the A83 at the corner of Argyll Street and Lochnell Street.
