Junior G.C. Angus, Arbroath G.C. There is some confusion concerning the spelling of the name of the golf club in Taynuilt. The name of the first club, formed in 1891, is shown as Bonawe in the Annuals, but newspaper items four or five Argyllshire, Acharacle years later covering its activities have it as Bonaw. The second club, whose course was opened in 1905, named as Bunawe and also, in newspapers, as Bonawe, but it appears to have lasted only a year as Campbelltown Hillside another course was opened in 1906. I also had difficulty with an accurate location of the courses, so the map locations are approximate.

  • CITATION GLEN NANT SITE of SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Argyll and Bute Site Code: 717
    CITATION GLEN NANT SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Argyll and Bute Site code: 717 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NN 010 281 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 49, 50 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 360 AREA: 502.08 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Biological: Woodlands : Upland oak woodland : Non-vascular plants : Bryophyte assemblage : Lichen assemblage : Invertebrates : Cranefly (Tipula luridorostris) DESCRIPTION Glen Nant Site of Special Scientific Interest extends from just south of Taynuilt along the River Nant to its source, Loch Nant. The majority of the site lies to the west of River Nant. There is, however, also a narrow strip to the east of this natural divide which runs the entire length of the site. The site encompasses a substantial area of native broad-leaved woodland. Upland oak woodland forms a considerable proportion of this woodland habitat mosaic. The woodland provides ideal conditions to support rich communities of lower plants (lichen and bryophyte assemblages). The woodland’s bryophyte assemblage provides a suitable habitat for a nationally-rare species of cranefly (Tipula luridorostris). The site represents one of the largest extents of upland oak woodland in the Lorn area. However, the underlying geology results in a variation of soils which in turn support a patchwork of woodland ranging from ash-hazel woodland on calcareous volcanic rocks to oak and birch woodland on the more acid soils. Other woody species include wych elm, gean and holly, with alder and sallows on less steep areas. This diversity of the woodland is reflected in the diverse ground vegetation with fern-dominated communities and heath on the higher slopes of acid oak-birch woodland and an abundance of herbs on the calcareous soils.
