THE SUN shone on Argyll and Bute for the council election on Thursday May 4 – but it was the Scottish Conservatives and SNP with a rosy glow after the votes were tallied.
Mid Argyll was one of just two contested wards where every one of the former councillors was re-elected, based on a turnout of 55 per cent.
In a third, South Kintyre ward, no election was needed as just three candidates – the incumbents – put themselves forward for the three available seats.
