Argyll and Bute MSP Michael Russell has written to the external consultants considering the future of key Royal Bank of Scotland branches to express his continued opposition to closure of the Inveraray branch.
Along with nine other rural branches, Inveraray was given a stay of execution earlier this year – but if the figures do not stack up by December 2018 the busy tourist town will be left with no bank to serve residents, businesses or visitors.
Mr Russell said: ‘I have been against the slew of closures in Argyll and Bute and still am, but all those threatened have now gone with the exception of Inveraray.
