The county town was historically Inveraray, but from its creation in 1890 the county council was based at Lochgilphead. The county is sparsely populated, with many islands and sea lochs along its coast, and the inland parts are mountainous. Six towns in the county held burgh status: Campbeltown, Dunoon, Inveraray, Lochgilphead, Oban, and Tobermory.
The village has a caravan park, pub and village store. The local economy is based on tourism, fishing and has become a popular sailing centre. In 1961 it had a population of 72. [2] The village has a primary school, the nearest high school is in Lochgilphead.
