The Village of Crinan and the western termination of the Crinan
Canal meet in one of Argyll's most spectacular
landscapes. This very special setting has the benefit if
international and local protection through being a Scheduled
Monument and a Conservation Area. Enhancing Crinan as a boating and
tourist destination will have to be considered very sensitively in
order to preserve the special character which makes it unique.
British Waterways Scotland has worked with locals and
stakeholders to develop plans for new boaters facilities and
continues to work to develop aspirations for an arts community.
British Waterways Scotland is committed to preserving the
special qualities of Crinan and will be conducting a Conservation
Area Appraisal over the course of the coming months.
