[edit] District of Strathclyde region
I believe there was an Argyll and Bute district of Strathclyde region, 1975 to 1996, but this is not mentioned in the article. There is mention of a boundary change in 1996, re Helensburgh and Lomond, when the name of the district became the name of a unitary council area, but I imagine there may have been other boundary changes. Eg: was Arran within the Argyll and Bute district? If not: where was it? Laurel Bush 12:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC).
- According to Schedule 2 of the LGA(S) 1973, the Cunninghame district of Strathclyde was composed of:
- In the county of Ayr--the burghs of Ardrossan, Irvine, Kilwinning, Largs, Saltcoats, Stevenston, the districts of Irvine, Kilbirnie, West Kilbride; those parts of the designated area of Irvine New Town within the Ayr and Kilmarnock districts.
- In the county of Bute--the burgh of Millport; the districts of Arran, Cumbrae.
- Plus, Argyll and Bute was just called Argyll and was made up of:
- In the county of Argyll--the burghs of Campbeltown, Dunoon, Inveraray, Lochgilphead, Oban, Tobermory; the districts of Cowal, Islay, Jura and Colonsay, Kintyre, Mid Argyll, Mull, North Lorn (except the electoral divisions of Ballachulish, Kinlochleven), South Lorn, Tiree and Coll.
- In the county of Bute--the burgh of Rothesay; the district of Bute.
- I'm thinking of starting the LGA(S) 1973 article, and I'll include a table of all the districts and what parts of what counties they covered. Owain (talk) 14:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Districts meaning the 1930-1975 entities created at the time of abolition of parish councils? An article specifically about those districts might be useful, but I dont know what to call it, given existing widespread use of district to mean the 1975-1996 entities. Or perhaps it should just be a section in Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929. Laurel Bush 17:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC).
- On my to do list as Local Authorities in Scotland 1930 - 1975 or some such title - with the joint county councils, large and small burghs and districts by county. Lozleader 17:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Whatever the article is called there is then the question of how it might be pipe-linked, or linked via a redirect. District (Scotland) is currently a redirect to Regions and districts of Scotland. Perhaps it (District (Scotland)) should be a disambig page. Laurel Bush 10:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Towns and villages
This list includes a very comprehensive list of settlements including some places that hardly qualify as hamlets. However I have removed Colgrain and Stuckgowan as I am unable to find any map location for settlements of either name.--JBellis 18:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Colgrain is south of Helensburgh and Stuckgowan is on Loch Lomond south of Tarbet. Nigel Campbell 17:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
