Roe deer injured on Ardentinny road

This doe roe deer was found injured in a ditch between the Lairds Grave and Glenfinart Caravan Park. It appeared that the animal had been hit by a vehicle. Staff from Ardentinny Outdoor Centre contacted the vet in Dunoon. However, as the injuries were severe, the deer was put to sleep.

Drivers in the area between the Swedish houses and the caravan site should be aware of both deer and squirrels crossing the road, especially during these dark days.

Ardentinny’s Traditional Kids’ Xmas Party

What has now become an established annual event, Ardentinny’s Xmas Party was thoroughly enjoyed by 30 children with parents and grandparents in the Village Hall last Saturday.

Organisers Anna and Mary Jane produced a traditionally themed afternoon with vintage games such as The Grand Old Duke of York and Musical Chairs and pianists, retired local vet and partner, provided excellent accompaniment. There was also the more unusual ‘parachute game’ and the making of a snowman.

As ever, there was a sumptuous buffet for the children while Margaret Robinson provided coffees and teas for the adults.

The ‘wee yins’ successfully beckoned Santa with several renditions of Jingle Bells till they were loud enough for him to find them. Their reward – Santa’s own personalised gifts!
