The perennially yacht-hostile Argyll and Bute Council are planning to remove the visitor moorings at Port Ellen.

I wasn't aware there were any. Pontoons, yes, but I can't recall seeing any mooring cans for visitors.

They are way out in the bay, been there since the days of the HIDB

Possibly the most uncomfortable moorings anywhere.

If they have been there that long, they probably need repair/renewal & I doubt many Councils will be spending money on moorings, even if they brought money in for the local traders.

I was in Port Ellen last week & I don't recall more than 3 shops including the local co-op. Even the former distillery is only a Malting house now.

Some local on tre pon your will probably buy them and charge like the Light
Brigade for an un comfy night rolling around.
