A significant milestone in the regeneration of a lochside village in Argyll has been reached after the local authority re-opened a historic egg shed.

Located on Ardrishaig’s waterfront, the shed will now serve as a focal point for the community.

The official opening taking place on Friday, marking the first stage of the regeneration of the gateway to the Crinan Canal.

By breathing new life into the disused building, former garage and new extension, partners behind the project have provided a space to tell the tale story of the Crinan Canal and the communities on its banks.

The development includes new parking facilities and improved walking and cycling links.

The egg shed project was chosen as one of three to be brought forward for development, attracting funding from the council’s regeneration capital grant fund.

Councillor Aileen Morton, leader of the Argyll and Bute Council, said: “We began with a determination to work in partnership with Scottish Canals and the community to deliver projects that will create jobs and help to grow the population of the area, which will help boost our local economy.

“The opening of the Egg Shed is just one piece of an ambitious programme of regeneration for the wider regeneration of mid Argyll.

“This includes further development of the Gleaner Oil site and public realm in Ardrishaig, the front green and town centre, Lochgilphead, and made a contribution to new onshore facilities in Tarbert.

“I look forward to seeing it realised and the economic opportunities it brings for mid Argyll.”
