I was talking to someone yesterday who had visited Kintyre for the first time, and had spent a bit of time in Southend. She was asking what the "building" was. Is there any prospect of anything being done with it, or is it going to continue to be an increasingly unsightly and dangerous eyesore, a blot on the landscape, and talking point for visitors?
Surely Argyll and Bute Council have some responsibility, indeed duty, to compel the owners to do something with it, as they did last year with the Argyll Hotel in Oban which has lain derelict for a number of years now. The Argyll (which is also a listed building) is in the centre of a town, but Keil is in an even worse situation as a mouldering hulk in an area of natural beauty. Why is no action being taken?
