The Scottish Canals-led partnership project has transformed and extended a historic, disused building – known locally as the ‘Egg Shed’ – into a bespoke interpretation and community centre, which tells the story of the Crinan Canal and the communities on its banks.

It is a milestone marker in the regeneration of Ardrishaig Harbour on the Crinan Canal.
