The Ardrishaig development works include a new lochside viewing area with additional seating and art work as well as improvements to the north car park including an expansion of disabled parking.

The works will also see new waterfront signposting and artwork from the canal, reconfiguring of the memorial garden to include new seating areas, picnic benches and a path as well as improved accessibility for the Argyll Sea Kayak Trail making it easier for kayakers to go between Loch Fyne and the Crinan Canal.

Works will continue until next year with the site expected to open in summer 2023.

The works are part of wider regeneration initiatives already delivered in the area. They include enhanced facilities introduced for the local community and tourist visitors at Ardrishaig Harbour by Scottish Canals and upgrades of the Public and North Halls by the Ardrishaig Community Trust.

Argyll and Bute Council has appointed P1 Solutions Ltd to deliver the scheme.
