It was great to meet with my fellow Conservative Councillors today in Kilmory.

Since the last local elections long serving and newly elected Conservatives have been working relentlessly for our constituents in every corner of Argyll and Bute.

It was fantastic to catch up with Argyll and Bute's Armed Forces Champion Councillor Barbara Morgan recently in Kilmory where we discussed her work supporting our brave armed forces personnel who are serving across the world and our heroic veterans.

On the one hundredth anniversary of Armistice Day, members joined in with local commemorative events across the country.

The village of Portnahaven on Islay played host to the ceremony to mark the one hundredth anniversary of the actions at Henin and Fontaine-Les-Croisilles, France (24th and 27th of August 1918) and the award of the Victoria Cross to temporary Lieutenant David Lowe MacIntyre, Argyll and Sutherland

I was honoured to attend the recent commemorations in Port Ellen that took place to remember the 700 men who died in two World War One disasters off Islay.

I'm just back form attending the latest Argyll and Bute Council meeting. I and spoke at length with my fellow Conservative Councillors about the blight of ferry disruptions across my council ward particularity on the Island of Islay.

Today I was very happy to meet with Cllr Barbara Morgan the Argyll and Bute Council's Armed Forces Champion. We discussed the upcoming World War 100 commemorations on Islay.

On behalf of all the candidates, and our newly elected group of councillors, Argyll and Bute Conservative and Unionist Association would like to thank all of our members and supporters, who turned out in such great numbers and voted in the local elections last week. 

Across the country, Scotland has been turning blue today, with a significant increase in seats for Scottish Conservatives; results that were echoed in Argyll and Bute.

What a good response in Dumbarton for " No to a 2nd referendum " .
