  • Lochgilphead Branch Review Our Branch at Lochgilphead Is Closing on 17 February 2021
    Lochgilphead Branch Review Our branch at Lochgilphead is closing on 17 February 2021. What you need to know We’ve looked carefully at our Lochgilphead branch at 5 Union Street, Lochgilphead, PA31 8JS and how it is used, and we’ve taken the decision to close it. The way customers bank with us is rapidly evolving with the vast majority of everyday transactions now being done digitally. Over 2.1 million of our customers now choose to bank online, and over 1.3 million use our Mobile Banking App. Even prior to COVID-19 customers were choosing other ways to bank with us, with 50% using services at our cash machines, and 20% using a Post Office®. Over 190,000 customers have been supported through our new online chat service, helping them with queries and other services. 67% of all our customers are now using mobile, online or telephone banking, and at this branch 78% of our personal and 80% of our business customers, now choose to use another branch or channel instead. We need to make sure our branches meet the current and future needs of our customers, and TSB remains committed to face to face services in branch through a network that covers the whole country. In Argyll and Bute we will still have 1 branch serving 16,644 customers. This Branch Review explains how we can support you through the changes and the alternative services you can use. What does this change mean for you There are a number of other branches you can visit, including Oban below, which is 37.0 miles away from the closing branch.

  • Kilmichael, Kilmory, Ardcastle & Minard Forests an Archaeological Survey
    KILMICHAEL, KILMORY, ARDCASTLE & MINARD FORESTS AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY Project Report May 2007 Roderick Regan and Sharon Webb Kilmartin House Museum Scottish Charity SC022744 i Summary While the survey work has brought to light new rock-art sites the main focus within the study area has been directed towards settlement sites or townships. These indicated the pattern of landscape use prior to change, including clearance and abandonment in the 19 th century and the later commencement of commercial forestry. Over twenty such sites were recorded including the settlements of Acres, Auchlech, Carrick, Carron, Craigans, Craigmurrial, Dalaneireanach, Dippen, Dunmore, Knockalva, Knock, Moninerrnech, Otter Ferry, Rudha-nan-Caorich, Tigh Ban, Tomdow Tomban, Tigh-na-Barra, Tunns and Sheanlarach as well as several other unnamed sites. The importance of these settlements lies not perhaps in their latest use but in their beginnings and their occupation through time. Historical records and cartographic sources can only go part of the way in telling us how old these settlements are and who lived there, what they did and how each settlement related to one another. The recording of these settlements and their related features such as fields, tracks and enclosures for example is however an important step in analysing the past landscape-use in Mid Argyll. The work also builds on the picture already gained by other surveys including those undertaken by Kilmartion House Museum for the Forestry Commission in North Knapdale, Ormaig and Eredine/Brenchoillie. These surveys, alongside work undertaken by Heather James and Alan Begg, provide an important starting point from which a fuller picture of past lives can be gleaned, through the study of historical material and possibly through a programme of excavation.

  • Blarbuie Woodland
    Health And Natural Heritage Case Studies Blarbuie Woodland Location Lochgilphead, Argyll Summary Woodland around Argyll and Bute Hospital is now used on a daily basis by hospital staff, patients and local residents of all ages and abilities as a result of woodland restoration, path creation, signage and interpretation with both direct and indirect health benefits. Health benefits - Physical and mental health benefits for those involved in practical woodland path management work - Physical resource / refuge / place of safety and tranquillity for those visiting the hospital - Reduced suicidal and self-harm tendencies amongst mental health service users as a result of involvement in the project - Reduced cigarette smoking by those working in the woods Keys to success and learning points • Access to attractive and well managed woodland or other natural environments was traditionally an intrinsic part of mental health care and is no less relevant today. • Restoring and developing woodland and other habitats with opportunities for public access adjacent to hospitals, as well as where people live and work, can provide opportunities for local residents, staff and visitors to enjoy walking and other physical exercise. • Developing an accessible path network is fundamental to encouraging and enabling people to enjoy walking, and to stimulating informal outdoor physical activity. • Involving as wide a range of people as possible can add to the physical labour resource and get more people active, with physical and mental health benefits. • Opportunity for mental health service users to work, mix and laugh with the “interesting” characters brought in as contractors and trainers is an important key to success. More about the project Argyll and Bute Hospital is typical of many such institutions set up in the Victorian era.
