๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Lochgilphead (Ceann Loch Gilb) is a town and former burgh in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is the administrative centre of Argyll and Bute. The village lies at the end of Loch Gilp (a branch of Loch Fyne) and lies on the banks of the Crinan Canal. Lochgilphead sits on the A83, with Ardrishaig 2ย miles (3ย km) to the south and Inveraray 24 miles (39ย km) to the north-east; Oban lies 37 miles (60ย km) north on the A816.
The council is based at Kilmory Castle, around which is located a woodland park and an Iron Age fort. Forestry and Land Scotland also have an office there.
Lochgilphead's facilities include a swimming pool, sports centre, fishing tackle shop, Virgin MoneyBank and Bank Of Scotland, Co-op Food supermarket, two petrol stations, one homewear shop and one hardware shop, a Renault dealership, a community hospital run by the local GPs (with an A&E department and a psychiatric hospital), a nine-hole golf course, bowling club, a hydrotherapy pool, a regional landfill site at Dunchologan, and Lochgilphead High School. There is also a local detachment of the Army Cadet Force in the town, specifically a branch of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in conjunction with the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Daily bus services run from the town to other parts of Scotland, notably Glasgow, Campbeltown, Fort William, and Oban.
The town is home to shinty team Kilmory Camanachd and football team, Lochgilphead Red Star.
As a planned settlement, Lochgilphead was created in 1790, shortly after the completion of a road from Inveraray to Campbeltown. After the completion of the Crinan Canal in 1801, the town became more important as a link across the Kintyre peninsula. When a road was completed in 1830, Lochgilphead was linked to Oban. In 1831 a pier was built, promoting maritime transit between Lochgilphead and Glasgow, and other ports along the Irish Sea.
In 1975 Lochgilphead was chosen as the administrative headquarters of the Argyll and Bute District Council as part of local government reorganisation, due to its central location.
There are a large number of Neolithic remains, including cup and ring marks in the nearby Kilmartin Glen.
Lochgilphead has a population of over 2,300 people. Lochgilphead also forms the centre of the wider Argyll and Bute district which has a population of over 86,260 people.
