The Portavadie is complex was built by the then Scottish Office for the purpose of constructing concrete platforms for extraction of oil from the North Sea. However, the intention was soon overtaken by acceptance that steel platforms were the future for the oil industry in Scotland. Despite suggestions to turn the complex into a holiday village, it lay redundant until in the mid 1980s the enclosed port was used by a local fish farm company.
Finally, in 2009, it was announced that the "ghost village" was to be demolished to allow development of a whisky bar owned by the marina[2]
In late 2009 the marina was used for the first time to tie up boat for the Scottish series.
The new Portavadie Marina [3] complex opened to the public in 2010 with accommodation, and a bar/restaurant.
The Portavadie Marina is opened a spa building completed with pools and a sea view.
In one of the Arglly forests near Portavadie there is a number of tree house and dens build by a tribe called GET BAC.
A further report in the Dunoon Observer, says that the derelict 'village', known as Pollphail, was sold to a forestry company who plan to demolish the buildings and build new houses. It remains in situ currently.[4]
