    Your video is so much more complementary than another one that I watched. We lived there and raised our kids 20 years ago. It was a fantastic town to raise your kids. Sorry the weather wasn’t better for you. Brilliant video that helped us reminisce. Thanks for posting.

    Loch Gilp is joined up to the much larger Loch Fyne which is a sea inlet or a fjord carved by glaciers, at that time it was just a dry valley until the glaciers melted off and sea water flooded in to create Loch Gilp, looking across the water you can see Kilmory woods of the left and Knapdale and Kintyre on the right, looking straight along you can see lots of big mountains far across the water, that is the Isle of Arran which has plenty of shops, beach spas, fillings stations and schools, some good properties come up for sale there too just like on mainland Argyll but they’re so popular that homes sell as fast as hotcakes at a market stall.
    Yes the Crinan canal does meet the sea at Ardrishaig.
    Here are some shops and places that may be of interest to you the next time you visit the area
    Cafe 35
    Argyll Cafe
    Square leg Shop & Cafe
    Salty Dog Cafe
    Bee Sweet (chocolate, sweets, ice creams, etc.)
    Danny’s Ironmongers
    Bargain Zone
    McColls
    For any food shopping there of course is Co-op Food and Tesco Express, there is also Riverside Filling Station (shop and cafe)
    Lochside Leisure
    Fyne Tackle
    Post Office
    The Archway (Crafts Supplies and Art)
    Lee Garden
    Taj Mahal
    Cash machines can be found at
    Co-op Lochgilphead
    Riverside Filling Station
    Key Store Ardrishaig
    (Virgin Money is shutting their branches across the region (only Lochgilphead is stop hitting for the time being, all this internet banking nonsense, the world is relying in technology too much until it all fails or malfunctions they pin we’re all stuck, that’s the problem, I think the world really is moving too fast with technology, but really nothing replaces the traditional and previous centuries way of doing things.
    (Campbeltown and Oban still have banks, Virgin Money who have no plans for the time being to shut them down)
    Bank of Scotland has not shut their banks around here yet, the only one that they have shut is Inveraray Bank of Scotland dud to it being a small population there are not many people going to the bank
    It’s not all bad news because all local post offices will now become your in person banks so if you want to put money in or take money out you just go to your local post office, the nearest is in Lochgilphead and there are other ones in Oban and Kilmelford and other areas
    A good place to go to is north of Lochgilphead to Kilmichael where there is Achnashelloch Farm Shop, Kirnan Estate, A touch of glass studio, the very well known restaurant, bar and hotel called The Horseshoe Inn and if you want to explore another area north of Lochgilphead and Kilmichael is the Kilmartin Hotel and Restaurant along with amazing walks around the area, the best dessert option on the kilmartin hotel menu is the…
    Chocolate Sauce, Marshmallow, Mars Bar & Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae
    e, So, p,l
    e - egg
    So - Soya
    p - peanuts
    l - milk
    And that’s the allergens information of what it contains, it’s the best dessert I’ve tried.
    Every second Saturday of each month there is a farmers market at the car park of the Lochgilphead Co-op and there is sometimes some markets at Ardrishaig Pier Square (unsure of dates) Facebook has all the info too.
    There is the clock tower sale room in Ardrishaig I really recommend that, there’s so many old and valuable antique stuff there, there is even discontinued or rare item, it’s amazing what you can find there, you can find anything and it’s all at a very good price, they have 2 shops, 1 for small items and the other shop for furniture and large items

      @@rowanstravels8038 all my life I’ve lived here in Argyll (Mid Argyll area) it’s a beautiful place, know everything about it, lived here for decades (my whole life so far I’ve always lived here) thats how I know so much, I know everything about Argyll including what’s below it and what’s above it. All the amazing secrets, landscape formations, everything. It would take a 100 year long youtube video to put everything in.
      I love the area and will always remain in the area.
