Important Information for Pipe Bands coming to Cowal by Bus

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COACH DRIVERS

USING WESTERN FERRIES TO TRAVEL TO DUNOON.

Due to the lack of available turning points on the A770 Cloch Road near to Western Ferries I have been asked by Strathclyde Police and Western Ferries to ask all coach drivers using Western Ferries to come to Dunoon use the following route.

When coming into Greenock on the A8 proceed until the Bullring roundabout. Instead of carrying straight on through Greenock and Gourock turn left at the bullring roundabout onto the A78 Inverkip Road. Follow the A78 until the Bankfoot roundabaout and turn right onto the A770 Cloch Road. Follow this road until you reach the Western Ferries terminal on the left.

The need for this new route is required because there will be no right turn into Western Ferries from the Cloch Road in order to prevent the road being blocked by queuing traffic. There is also a lack of suitable turning points on the Cloch Road for buses that have followed the traditional route.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Strathclyde Police, Western Ferries and Cowal Gathering.
