Clachaig (Scottish Gaelic: Clachaig) is a small settlement in Glen Lean, on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland.[1][2] It is located on the B836 road between the Holy Loch and Loch Striven, the hamlet is just over a mile long.[citation needed] Clachaig is a Gaelic word meaning 'stone place'.[3]
The Hamlet consists of twenty-two houses and was built for accommodation for the workers of the powder mill. The mill manufactured gunpowder.[4]
The river at the bottom of the glen is the Blackcraig Burn that joins the Little Eachaig River, then joining the River Eachaig and flowing into the Holy Loch.
Transportation
[edit]The settlement is served by the 478 Dunoon–Portavadie bus, operated by West Coast Motors.[5]
