A busy weekend in Argyll...


A busy weekend, a disproportionate amount of which was spent on the A83 (bus yesterday, two carloads today) - and I'll be back that way on Friday en route to Islay.


Yesterday was a trip to Campbeltown for a hustings with a community land use focus, organised by Argyll Green Party. The hustings part of the meeting was preceded by an interesting talk from Andy Wightman, author of a new book 'The poor had no lawyers', on the subject of community land use, and particularly the issue of renewable energy and community ownership. The hustings section went well, although 'big beast' Mike Russell was absent, attending a meeting on the Cowal Hospice in Dunoon along with Lib Dem Alison Hay.


The hustings was followed by leafleting in Campbeltown and the 4.5 hour bus journey back... just in time to start out again today for leafleting in Lochgilphead and Ardrishaig.
