THE NUMBER of people living in Argyll and Bute fell by almost one per cent during the past year, a report has announced.
Inverness-based MacKay Consultants reported that 760 people have left the region since July 2015, a 0.9 per cent decrease in the Argyll and Bute population.
Meanwhile, a social enterprise which helped 160 people in the region aged 16-24 gain work and qualifications in the past year, including in Lochgilphead, could close its doors by the end of September.
