Colintraive
Colintraive (Scottish Gaelic: Caol an t-Snàimh) is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Once the site where cattle were swum across the narrows to the Isle of Bute, a ferry now provides the back door to the island.
==Geography==
Colintraive is located on the west coast of the Cowal peninsula, facing the Kyles of Bute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Colintraive )〕 The village is quite small with few facilities, primrily the hotel/pub-restaurant,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Colintraive Hotel )〕 and its small adjoining post office. The Colintraive Hotel was owned and run by Ken Sykora for 5 years during the 1970s before his wife's alcoholism forced them to sell up.〔(Cinema Listings | Leisure | Homepage - The Oxford Times )〕 A Heritage Centre opened in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Colintraive Heritage Centre )〕 The nearest town of notable size is Dunoon, which is twenty minutes drive away on the east coast of the peninsula, facing Gourock and the River Clyde.
The name Colintraive derives from Gaelic and means "swimming strait" or "swimming narrows". In the past, cattle were swum over from the Isle of Bute to Colintraive on their way to the markets of lowland Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The island of Bute )〕
