Argyle
& Bute facts:
| Argyll and Bute covers the
second largest administrative area of any Scottish council. Including islands,
there are over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) of coastline, and this is claimed
to be more than for the whole of France.
The later scenes of the 1963
James Bond film From Russia with Love were filmed around the lochs and
hills of Argyll and Bute.
Argyll and Bute merged together
the existing Argyll and Bute district and one ward of the Dumbarton district.
The Dumbarton ward, called 'Helensburgh and Lomond', included the burgh
of Helensburgh and consisted of an area to the west of Loch Lomond, north
of the Firth of Clyde and mostly east of Loch Long. |

Argyll's county town was
historically Inveraray, which is still the seat of the Duke of Argyll.
Lochgilphead later claimed to be the county town, as the seat of local
government for the county from the nineteenth century. Neither town was
the largest settlement geographically nor in terms of population, however.
Argyll's largest towns were (and are) Oban,
Dunoon and Campbeltown.
Bute lies in the Firth of
Clyde. The only town on the island, Rothesay, is linked by ferry to the
mainland. Architectural attractions on the island include the ruined
twelfth century St Blane's Chapel on a site associated with Saint Catan
and Saint Blane, who was born on Bute. Another ruined chapel, dating from
the sixth century, lies at St Ninian's Point. |
