A83 Rest and Be Thankful Closure Signing A83 Rest and Be Thankful Closure Signing Feasibility Report Document reference: 1209.035/001/0 Revision: 0 Issued: March 2013 Project Name: A83 Rest and Be Thankful Closure Signing Document Title: 1209.035/001/0 Executive Summary A recent letter from Alan Reid MP has highlighted an issue regarding closures of the A83 at, or near, the Rest and Be Thankful. There are no signs to warn local road users travelling from either Lochgoilhead or Strachur areas when the A83 Rest & Be Thankful is closed. It has been suggested that signs could be positioned outside the villages to warn drivers of closures and save them a wasted journey, since their preferred alternative route to Glasgow would be to travel south to Dunoon and use Western Ferries. This study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of, and options available for, providing signing on the routes out of the villages and the benefits they could provide in comparison to other means of informing road users i.e. Traffic Scotland website / radio, Customer Care Line, Twitter etc. It was identified that there are numerous useful and reliable sources of traffic and route information available which are being used regularly by some road users. The majority of this information, however, remains available only to those who firstly, are aware of its existence and secondly, have the means and knowledge of how to access it. There remains a number of the population who may not regularly use the more modern means of communication such as internet and mobile devices and who rely more on traditional means of information from local radio, newspapers and also through word of mouth. Installing signs in appropriate locations would provide a high visual impact and ensure that more road users are informed of closure events. This would allow them to make informed journey decisions and prevent wasted travelling time or cost. The physical presence of signing in the appropriate locations would virtually guarantee road users get the information they require whether or not they had other means of sourcing traffic or route news. The preferred solution recommended in this report is for a phased implementation of measures. The first phase would be a letter / leaflet drop to locals. These could be posted out to target areas, informing them of the local route issues road users may face and the various options available to them for sourcing real- time traffic and route information for their area. This could potentially increase awareness of the various sources of traffic and route info (TS website, Customer care line, twitter etc.) and lead to more people using the facilities to make informed journey decisions and prevent wasted journeys. The situation could then be monitored and should signing also be deemed necessary and budget is available then sign installations could be carried out. The recommended option for signing is a text activated sign with a variable LED sign face on the identified stretches north of both Lochgoilhead (B839) and Strachur (A815). Installation of these signs together with a targeted leaflet / letter campaign would cover most eventualities and negate the need for any locals to undertake wasted journeys north towards the A83 at times of road closures.

A recent letter from Alan Reid MP has highlighted an issue regarding closures of the A83 at, or near, the Rest and Be Thankful area. There are no signs to warn local road users travelling from either Lochgoilhead or Strachur areas of when the A83 Rest & Be Thankful is closed. Signs could be positioned outside the villages to warn drivers of closures and save them a wasted journey, since their preferred alternative route to Glasgow would be to travel south to Dunoon and use Western Ferries. 1.1.2. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and options available for providing signing on the routes out of the villages and the benefits they could provide in comparison to other means of informing road users i.e. Traffic Scotland website / radio, Customer Care Line, Twitter etc. 1.2. Location / Routes 1.2.1. The villages of Lochgoilhead and Strachur are shown on the location plan overleaf. Any road closures implemented on the A83 section (around Rest and Be Thankful area highlighted) can prevent traffic from these villages travelling by road (via A83 east then A82) towards Glasgow. The standard diversion route is via the A83 west, A819, A85 and A82. The alternative option of travelling south to Dunoon and taking the ferry across the Firth of Clyde and onwards to Glasgow / The south also exists. These options have the effects of increased journey time and costs for local road users. 1.2.2. The journey from Lochgoilhead (population approx. 400) North along the B839 / B828, to where it meets the A83 at Rest and Be Thankful (RBT) is approx. 9km long and typically takes around 15-20 minutes. From Strachur (combined population with Strathlachlan is approx. 700) there are 2 route options to reach the A83: via the A815 to A83 East of Cairndow –approx. 16.5 km taking around 20-25 minutes via the A815 / B839 / B828 to A83 RBT – approx. 23km taking around 30-35 minutes Doc ref: 1209.035/001/0 - iv - Service is our passion. People, our strength. Issued: March 2013 Project Name: A83 Rest and Be Thankful Closure Signing Document Title: 1209.035/001/0 Figure 1 - Location and Route Plan Doc ref: 1209.035/001/0 - v - Service is our passion. People, our strength. Issued: March 2013 Project Name: A83 Rest and Be Thankful Closure Signing Document Title: 1209.035/001/0 1.2.3. The distances and journey times involved to get to the A83 to proceed to Glasgow / The south are substantial. Due to the nature of the network here, the A83 Rest & Be Thankful area has been subject to frequent road closures in the past. Landslides, inclement weather (high ground subject to heavy snow in winter) and other incident types have all contributed to numerous road closure events. This results in inconvenience for locals from Lochgoilhead / Strachurarea who undertake their journey only to be turned back at the A83 as it is impassable. 1.2.4. If signing was in place on the roads heading north out of Lochgoilhead / Strachur it could be utilised to inform road users of any closures on the A83 (or other routes affecting their journeys). This would prevent wasted journeys on the routes discussed

  • The Macarthur Surname
    The MacArthur Surname Surname: MacArthur Branch: MacArthur Origins: Scottish Country: Scotland Scottish Flag Arms of Scotland Background: In Gaelic, MacArthur means Son of Arthur. The Clan MacArthur is one of the oldest of Argyll and its age is referred to in the proverb, "There is nothing older, unless the hills, MacArthur and the devil". The MacArthurs themselves claim descent from Arthur, that early resistance fighter who may have fought against the expansionist English for the Scots. The MacArthurs supported Bruce and were rewarded with grants of extensive lands in Argyll including those of the MacDougalls and the chief was appointed Captain of the Castle of Dunstaffnage. This was indeed the peak of their fortunes for when James I returned from exile in England, in his launch to regain power he executed Iain MacArthur chief of the clan from which the clan never recovered. From thereafter it was the name of Campbell rather than MacArthur that flourished in the region. Heraldry Motto: Fide Et Opera, Faith and Work. Battle Cry: Olso O' Elso, Listen O'listen. Arms: Azure, a maltese cross Argent, between three antique crowns. Crest: Two laurel branches in orle proper. Badge: Two laurel branches in orle, proper. Plant: Fir club moss, wild myrtle. History of the MacArthur Surname he MacArthur’s are Celts, and the family of Arthur is one of the oldest clans in Argyll, so ancient that even in remote Celtic times there was a Gaelic couplet which is freely translated, ‘the hills and streams and Mac-alpine but whence came forth MacArthur?’ The MacArthur’s supported Robert the Bruce in the struggle for the independence of Scotland, and their leader, Mac ic Artair, was rewarded with lands in mid Argyll, which had belonged to those who had opposed the king.

  • Old Castle Lachlan to Kilmun
    Driving Tour between Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmun – connecting the Mausoleums of two historic Highland families, the Maclachlans and the Campbells Old Castle Lachlan – Newton - Strachur – Loch Eck - Benmore Botanic Gardens – Historic Kilmun This picturesque round trip through Argyll’s Cowal peninsula is approximately 50 miles and takes you from Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel on Loch Fyne, to Loch Eck, and ends at Historic Kilmun on Holy Loch near Dunoon. It contains several stopping places worth devoting plenty of time to. We recommend a whole day to see everything with an additional day if you would like to explore the many forestry tracks by mountain bike or on foot. Beginning at Old Castle Lachlan the tour will lead you down the banks of Loch Eck to the resting place of the Clan Campbell chiefs, the Dukes of Argyll, at Kilmun. There are beautiful views of the mountains with picnic stops and Forestry Commission walks along the way. Please remember to drive on the left and take your time on the winding narrow roads. Starting Point: Old Castle Lachlan, Lachlan Bay Old Castle Lachlan The ancient seat of the Maclachlan Clan makes a fine looking ruin and easy walking paths encourage you to explore and enjoy your surroundings. It is a hidden gem on Loch Fyne, standing out on the loch since the 15th Century, once a centre of local life. However, the castle has lain empty since the 17th Clan Chief took sides with Bonnie Price Charlie and died on the battlefield of Culloden in 1746. The current clan chief and his family live in the white 'new' castle you can see on your walk.

  • Presentation by Strachur Hub PDF 13 MB
    THE STRACHUR HUB - THE STORY SO FAR strachur A COMMUNITY PROJECT SUPPORTED BY THE INTEGRATED CARE FUND THE STRACHUR HUB WAS THE IDEA OF KATE PATON, THE PRACTICE NURSE OF THE STRACHUR MEDICAL PRACTICE. (SMP) Kate’s objective was to bring something into the community to: • Ensure that older people had the opportunity to live independent lives in their own home for as long as possible • Reduce social isolation • Improve their quality of life • Provide some respite to carers and family members • Improve mobility • Prevent falls. In June 2015 an application for funding was submitted by the SMP’s Patient Participation Group to the Integrated Care Fund of the Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). In February 2016 we were granted the funding of £12.8kpa. Together with Heather Grier, Ian Asher and a group of very dedicated volunteers, the Hub started on its journey at the beginning of March 2016. SETTING UP • Between the date of our application and granting of the funding we : • Planned how we would implement our ideas. • Received support from TSI in this set up. • During this time we sought to: • Employ a qualified Otago trained instructor • Seek a deputy to be locally trained. • We originally envisaged around 16 people attending each week, based on Kate’s ‘sounding out’ of patients. • A problem however: Transport. People had expressed an interest to come but could not get there. • A solution: We entered into a co-production with Cowal Elderly Befrienders from whom we hire a specially adapted vehicle. WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? As well as Kate’s ‘local’ goals, we seek to have positive impact on some of the criteria laid down by the Scottish Government on improving health and well- being in Scotland.
