ARDRISHAIG.
This town is situated on the west side of Loch Gilp, a small loch a mile long, on the west shore of Loch Fyne. It is the headquarters of a herring fishery employing about a hundred boats, and its situation at one end of the Crinan Canal makes it the centre of considerable trade in the summer, many cattle and sheep being shipped hence by the Greenock steamers and other vessels calling at the pier. It is one of the chief stations of the pleasure traffic carried on in summer by the magnificent Clyde steamers which land passengers here en route for Oban and the Caledonian Canal. The steamer seen at the pier is the Columba, which is so well known to all tourists in Scotland, and which is the subject of the next view.
