DUNOON and COWAL Profile
www.argyll-bute.gov.uk DUNOON and COWAL Profile February 2019 Welcome to Dunoon - a town for the 21st century Dunoon is the main town on the Cowal Peninsuala, once a popular destination for holiday-makers from Glasgow up until the 1960s. The town has much to offer thanks to its close ties to the Central Belt by road, by ferry and digital infrastructure. The regeneration work, led by Argyll and Bute Council, is not simply restoring the town to its former glory, but creating a town fit for 21st century citizens. The marvellous wooden pier has already undergone its first phase of refurbishment. The iconic Queens Hall is being remodelled at a total cost of £8m to create exciting gathering spaces for local residents and visitors, both inside and out. Incorporating a new public realm and road layout, this will revitalise the access to the town centre. Over the next five years, a Conservation Area Regeneration project will upgrade key buildings in the town centre to improve the route between the newly refurbished Burgh Hall and the Queens Hall. Historic Environment Scotland is providing £1,002,348 of grant funding and Argyll and Bute Council is providing £500,000 of match funding. The total projected budget, including owners’ contributions, is over £1,889,000. Council infrastructure The council is leading a project entitled Smarter Places which is looking at the use of public sector buildings in the town to co-locate and revitalise the town centre. This includes plans for an advice hub situated on the main bus route in or around Dolphin Hall. -

Flat 3/1, Argyle Mansions, 23, Argyle Place, Rothesay, Isle of Bute PA20 0BA (Page 2) Location: Rothesay is the principal town on the Isle of Bute, set on the Firth of Clyde. The island is served by two frequent ferry services, the main one is Rothesay to Wemyss Bay (approx. 35 minutes), thereafter by road, Glasgow Airport is approx. 45 minutes, Glasgow approx. 1 hour and Edinburgh approx. 2 hours. The other ferry is located at the north end of the island operating from Rhubodach to Colintraive (approx. 2 minutes) The island is within easy commuting distance to Glasgow with train services available at Wemyss Bay. The Isle of Bute is a popular destination not just for holidays but for those who wish to enjoy a lifestyle change since the regular ferry sailings and the proximity to both Glasgow and Prestwick airports make any form of com- muting relatively easy in comparison to other island locations. -
Parish Profile
Rothesay : Trinity Church of Scotland Parish Profile Introduction This scenic island parish, with quick and easy links to the mainland, is seeking a Minister with leadership and pastoral skills. Our vision for the future is of a Church of Scotland congregation continuing in the centre of the historic Royal Burgh of Rothesay which ministers to the spiritual and social needs of both those within the church walls and those without. To achieve this we will continue to work with and for all age groups in the community, changing, adapting and expanding as the need arises, led by an enthusiastic minster who is interested in and cares for all God’s people in the Parish. The Charge Rothesay : Trinity is a charge without restriction. It is in a Parish Grouping with the United Church of Bute, our sister Church of Scotland charge on the Island. Consequently, the Parish boundary for both charges is the whole Island. The congregation was founded at the Disruption in 1842 and is now the result of several unions going back to 1929 when the congregation joined in the union of the United Free Church of Scotland with the Church of Scotland and the name Trinity came into being. Several other unions have take place namely:- 1938 with St James Church 1942 with Craigmore High Church 1979 with the West Church The present congregational roll is 330. Worship Throughout the year Sunday Morning Worship is held at 11 am, with an Evening Service on the first Sunday of each month at 6.30 pm. There is also a 30 minute service on Thursday mornings at 11.15 am, which is held in our Small Hall. -

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter. -

At the same time SURF (Scotland’s Regeneration Network), supported by Argyll and Bute Council and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), began a process of connecting local community and regional/national partners, as part of SURF’s wider ‘Alliance for Action’ initiative. Initially developed through a HIE funded feasibility study in 2014, the SURF project drew together a Rothesay and Bute focused stakeholders group, which began to prioritise and address some of the issues highlighted in the community meeting. Since this time the number and range of businesses, organisations, charities and individuals involved has steadily grown and with it the conviction that a better Bute is possible.
