Since then some important developments have led to the growth of the town. After the completion of the Crinan Canal in 1801 the town became more important as a link across the Kintyre peninsula. The town was linked to Oban, when a road was completed in 1830. 1831 a pier was built, which helped to link Lochgilphead with Glasgow and other major towns. In 1975 Lochgilphead was chosen as the administrative headquarters of the Argyll and Bute District Council as part of local government reorganisation, due to its central location. In the Forest of Achnabreck there are a large group of cup and ring marks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lochgilphead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
