ARROCHER
A charity in Arrochar has been awarded £84,000 to provide and install a pontoon and visitor moorings on Loch Long, for the use and enjoyment of residents and visitors.
Dawn Gourlay, secretary of the Loch Long Jetty Association, said: ‘Many private yachts and chartered vessels sail up Loch Long every year, but with no pontoon or visitor moorings they are currently unable to safely moor and come ashore, to visit the village and explore the surrounding area. By providing these facilities it will also allow us to hold community-led initiatives such as an annual triathlon and ra race, which will help to enhance community spirit and benefit small businesses in the village.’
