On Saturday 30th January 2010 at 3pm their will be a public meeting on the council’s plans to sell Castle Toward. The meeting will take place at Innellan Village Hall in Dunoon.
A march to protest against the closure of Castle Toward has been planned to take place prior to this council meeting, join us at 1pm in Dunoon on Saturday the 30th to show the council that we will not stand for the Castle being lost for future generations.
- Start Time: 30 January at 13:00
- End Time: 30 January at 16:00
- Where: Dunoon Band Stand (by the CalMac terminal)
Please, bring your friends, family, neighbours, drums, whistles, foghorns, leghorns. We can’t let the council get away with this.
As a theme, we’ll be wearing blue to match the current seagull logo of the Castle, so if you can wear something blue.
Castle Toward is one of the most important educational facilities in Scotland. Disgracefully it has been closed by Argyll and Bute Council since the 13th of November.
Join the fight to save Castle Toward!

The importance of the march and public meeting is more evident than ever. The public have demonstrated before just how powerful they are. A temporary reprieve is not the solution this time. Castle Toward is a vital resource and one we are all so proud of. We must declare our opposition publically. Equally, we must allow ourselves the opportunity of realising how genuine Argyll and Bute Council are. That will only happen by us all coming together on Saturday. We know of MaCain’s Folly in Oban. We do not want to have hanging over us The Public Folly. Which could be what is ahead unless the supporters of Save Castle Toward accept an enormous turnout is paramount to the future well-being of this invaluable resource. We do not want to see on the 1st March that Argyll and Bute have decided on another reason to keep Castle Toward closed. And we most certainly do not want to find a month later that they have yet another reason. The fight to Save Castle Toward is as serious as ever. We need to be there, demonstrating, en-masse, to ensure people from Scotland and beyond continue to benefit. Benefit for life.
