The Kintyre Forum

I read with interest in the Courier that last year saw the greatest number of new businesses started by young people. This must be the way forward for places such as Kintyre. The days of hoping for large businesses to be the salvation of Kintyre should be ditched. Wind Towers in Machrihanish have already said they are struggling to find trained personel. What did they expect? Didn't they do their homework first? You have to live here to work. It's difficult to commute. Other large companies can see Kintyre is out on a limb. Literally. No train service, only a few air services and a main road which is now closed after any decent rainfall. Who would want to move here? We live here because we love it as it is.
So let's encourage the small businesses.

And as for Mr Salmond in his embarrasingly tartan trousers thinking a Disney cartoon will have people flocking to Scotland....
I think there's a planet somewhere with his name on it!
