About Ardentinny....

Ardentinny is a quiet, coastal village of approximately 150 residents set in Argyll Forest Park on the western shore of Loch Long at the foot of Glenfinart. Its land and seascapes are outstanding in every season and its forest walks and sandy beach attract visitors throughout the year. It is served by a regular bus service to & from the ferries at Hunters Quay and Dunoon and can also be approached by road via the A82 from Glasgow and then the A815 and A880.
Though small, the resident community of Ardentinny is very active in caring for its village via the the Village Hall committee; the Community Council and Community Trust; and through the work of individuals and small businesses. Ardentinny.org is created to provide current information on Ardentinny for its residents and visitors alike.

'Oyooni' Project.
Positive feedback from Palestine's Mobile Eye Clinic

Click image to enlarge
On 6th September 2008, Ardentinny residents and visitors rallied to support Dr. Ali Dabbagh's ground-breaking project to establish and manage a mobile eye clinic in Palestine. Dr. Dabbagh's wife, Sana, has kindly provided us with feedback on Dr. Dabbagh's November Palestine trip. They have called the project 'Oyooni' which Sana tells us is Arabic for 'my eyes' but is also used as a term of endearment, i.e., 'my love'.

Dr. Dabbagh reported on the 3 objectives of Oyooni, namely, Educational; Telemedicine; and... [more]

Ardentinny Community Trust Ltd folds due to lack of support

Ardentinny Community Trust Ltd held its final AGM in December 2008. While the usual agenda topics were duly covered, i.e, Minutes of the last meeting; Matters arising; Chairman's and Treasurer's reports, which included The Ardentinny Community Futures Community Profile which can be downloaded here; and Any Other Business, the main thrust of the meeting was the future of the Trust. In the event of office bearers' and committee members' resignations and a lack of response to the call for new volunteers, the position of the Community Trust was untenable and therefore those present agreed it should be officially dissolved.
From its inception, Trust committee members, past and present, have worked hard for the local community, liaising with the various authorities to try and fulfil its wishes. The possibility still exists for it to be re-established at some point in the future.
