am081006726Kirn Gala, for many local residents, is the ideal lead-in to Cowal Games weekend - lots of the fun, slightly less noise and bustle, and with a real community feel. Not too far from Dunoon. Last night's (Wednesday) event was no exception - and even the sun made a welcome appearance after a worryingly rainy start to the week.

THE modern world has brought with it a wrenching transformation of island economies.
Once dependent on the trading, hunting, fishing and farming skills of their residents, in many cases decreasing populations and the increase of holiday homes have sucked the life from island communities.

Breaking News...

DIVERS RESCUED FROM CLYDE
A diver spent half an hour in the chill waters of the Firth of Clyde on Monday morning after getting into difficulties while diving from the Inverclyde shore.
Reports were received by Clyde coastguard at 11.30am that two men were in difficulty in choppy sea conditions just offshore.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency confirmed that the younger of the two men managed to reach the shore, but his diving partner remained clinging to a mooring buoy in a blustery easterly wind.
The 11.20am CalMac ferry service from Gourock to Dunoon was diverted to assist the rescue effort. Passengers on the MV Jupiter reported hearing the man overboard alert sounding, before one of the ship’s rescue craft was launched.
The Helensburgh lifeboat  later reached the scene and transported both men to a waiting ambulance at 12.10pm.
The Royal Navy rescue helicopter was requested, but later stood down.
The men were taken to Inverclyde Royal Hospital, and their condition is unknown at this time.
