WELCOME to the September edition of West Coast Review.
It has been quite a summer in Oban and Lorn, especially with the celebration of Oban’s bicentenary. This month West Coast Review takes a look back at a memorable 10 days that brought people together and showed exactly what the area can offer. Another ace in the pack for the area is the social enterprise, Stramash, which is offering outdoor activities for all ages - and it’s not just for the tourists. business set up 20 years ago; Finlay Wells’ Nutshell Records has been the recording studio to some of the area’s best known artists and shows what can be achieved in business with the right attitude and bags of passion. We also continue to explore Argyll’s ‘green’ credentials with a look at how you can save money by buying ‘Real Nappies’.
If you have a story to tell, or would like to make a contribution to West Coast review, we look forward to hearing from you. Simply contact our
