TARBERT

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 417 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TARBERT , a fishing
village
  at the head of
East
  Loch Tarbert, an arm of the sea on the west shore of the mouth of Loch Fyne,
Argyllshire
 ,
Scotland
 . Pop. (1901) 1697. The harbour, though it has a narrow entrance, is absolutely safe and can shelter the whole of the Loch Fyne fishing
fleet
 . The pier for the passenger steamers that
call
  here is about in. from the
village
 . The
coast
  of the bay is rocky and the cliffs are fringed with
young
  firs, the village itself being quite a pretty place. The herring fishery--including a large trade in curingforms the only industry. The parish church occupies a fine situation. Overlooking the harbour are the ruins of a castle built by Robert Bruce in 1326. The isthmus connecting the districts of Knapdale and Kintyre is little more than one mile wide, and boats used once to be dragged across to the head of West Loch Tarbert, a narrow sea loch nearly ten miles long. A proposal to cut a canal across to shorten the sail to Islay and Jura has never progressed further.
