  • Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name
    Guest Directory Change of Ownership & Revival of a Famous Name The hotel was purchased by the Byrne family in the summer of 2015, returning the business to local ownership for the first time in many years. Opened in 1755 to national acclaim, the hotel was known as “The Inveraray Inn”. Our first act as new owners was to reinstate the original name. Our family has a long history in the hotel trade, is local to Argyll and also owns the nearby Best Western hotel in Crianlarich and the beautiful Ivy House, our Front Street neighbour (ask at Reception for booking details). Since purchasing the hotel, we have invested more than £1 million in a full and sympathetic refurbishment of this iconic and historic building. We hope that you are as pleased with the "new" hotel as we are. Please enjoy your stay. A Brief History of Inveraray Inveraray, at the head of Loch Fyne, owes its prominence to the rebuilding of Inveraray Castle, seat of the Duke of Argyll, in the 18th century. The town's history, however, goes back much further, since it was made a Royal Burgh in 1638 by Charles I. The Argyll family, who hold the chieftainship of the Clan Campbell, have been important players in Scottish history, with a happy knack of usually picking the winning side during centuries of bloody inter-clan feuding and bitter political in-fighting. The Campbells' contentious massacre at Glencoe of their rival MacDonalds in 1692 is long remembered, but their positive role in shaping modern Scotland cannot be overstated.

  • Inveraray Jail - Prisoner Records
    INVERARAY JAIL - PRISONER RECORDS http://www.inverarayjail.co.uk/ USE THE EDIT / FIND ON TOOLBAR TO SEARCH NAMES and ENTRIES BY TOWN and VILLAGE By tradition and history 'the county town Argyll, Inveraray's courthouse and prisons, designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1813, after original plans by Robert Reid in 1807, opened in 1820 - Whilst Reid's original plans hadd included a courthouse and three prisons - one for males, one for females and one for debtors - The Prison Commissioners, lacking finances, had to be content with building only the courthouse and but one prison, eight cellss contained in its two floors - Following the 1839 Prisons (Scotland) Act, a second prison, separating men and women and designed by Thomas Brown of Edinburgh, was opened at the end of 1848, the new three-storied prison having twelve cells, an exercise gallery and a pair of outdoor exercise yards, the idea of separating male and female prisoners stemming from the somewhat misguided persuasion that such a system gave prisoners time to reflect upon their sins ! After the passing of the 1877 Prisons (Scotland) Act, the responsibility for the running and financing prisons taken away from local authorities, small local prisons were successively closed in favour of large prisons, such as Glasgow's 1882-built Barlinnie Prison and though Inveraray's jail, the last of the small prisons, was closed on August 31, 1889, courts continued to sit in Inveraray's courthouse until around 1954.4. After an extensive programme of restoration was undertaken by The Scottish Office in the 1980's, the building then lying empty for some years, Inveraray Jail was opened to the public as a 'visitor attraction' in May 1989 and the records of more than 4,000 of its Victorian prisoners put online for the interest of family history researchers.

Scotch Whisky has been made for more than 500 years and uses just a few natural raw materials - water, cereals and yeast. Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky.

  • 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.

  • Children's Services
    The Highland Council Redesign Board Workshop Agenda Item 14 February 2017 Report No Council Redesign: Children’s Services Report by Review Team Leader Summary This report provides a final report from the Council Redesign team which was tasked to examine Children’s Services. It provides information on the service and specific recommendations on further work that could achieve savings and improvements in future service delivery and outcomes for children. 1. Background 1.1 Two functions were identified for review: looked after children and children in residential care. Looked After Children encompasses all placement types: residential care; fostering; adoption; kinship and looked after at home. The council is responsible for these functions although a range of partner agencies have some Corporate Parenting responsibilities. 1.2 Looked after children (LAC) This function involves the planning, intervention and support for looked after children and aftercare services for formerly looked after children. This is a statutory, regulated function with little discretion for the Council as standards are set nationally in regulation and with consequences on the size of expenditure. 1.3 Residential care This function relates to our duty to provide appropriate accommodation for looked after children. It involves in-house and commissioned places for looked after children, and the coordination of placements. This is a statutory, regulated function but with discretion for Council in relation to the type of accommodation used. The main legislation is contained in the Children (Scotland) Act 1995; the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001; and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. Placement services are regulated and inspected by the Care Inspectorate regardless of the provider.

    https://www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/inveraray-crossaig/Inveraray to Crossaig 275 kV Overhead Line Reinforcement EIA Report: Volume 1: Non-Technical Summary July 2018 InverarayInveraray toto CrossaigCrossaig 275275 kVkV OHLOHL ReinforcementReinforcement EIAEIA ReportReport VolumeVolume 1:1: NTSNTS - July 2018 https://www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/inveraray-crossaig/ Who we are We are Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, operating under licence as Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc for the transmission of electricity in the north of Scotland. What is the difference between Transmission and Distribution? Electricity Transmission is the transportation of electricity from generating plants to where it is required at centres of demand. The Electricity Transmission network, or grid, transports electricity at very high voltages through overhead wires, underground cables and subsea cables. The transmission network connects large scale generation, primarily renewables, to central and southern Scotland and the rest of Great Britain. It also helps secure supply by providing reliable connection to the wider network of generation plans. The Electricity Distribution network is connected into the Transmission network but the voltage is lowered by transformers at electricity substations, and the power is then distributed to homes and businesses through overhead lines or underground cables. Overview of Transmission projects In total we maintain about 5,000km of overhead lines and underground cables – easily enough to stretch across the Atlantic from John O’Groats all the way to Boston in the USA. Our network crosses some of the UK’s most challenging terrain – including circuits that are buried under the seabed, are located over 750m above sea level and up to 250km long.
