Dalriada

The Waterways Trust Scotland is working with its partners in Mid Argyll to develop and promote the natural and cultural heritage of the area.

Using the waterways, this project aims to improve physical access to the region's rich heritage and enhance public understanding and enjoyment.

Local communities will be involved within the project through conservation, arts and recreation projects, creating a heritage experience that will increase public awareness of what the area has to offer while providing opportunities for sustainable social, environmental and economic regeneration.

An important aspect of this long-term project is the creation of a network of good quality interpretative points or "hubs" linked by an easily accessible network of routes.

The objectives for the project are to:

• Protect, restore and enhance the area's rich natural, cultural and built heritage.
• Create exemplary community and tourism experiences in terms of information, education, interpretation, access, linked services and management.
• Heighten public awareness, understanding and appreciation of the area's outstanding heritage.
• Attract visitors to the area and promote responsible use whilst stimulating the public's interest in the heritage value and conservation issues of the area.
• Provide opportunities for community engagement and training.
