## Resource

An abandoned torpedo testing station in Arrochar, once a WWII hub that fired over twelve thousand torpedoes, is set for a dramatic revival. After years of blight, fly-tipping, and vandalism, the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority has approved a bold redevelopment plan by Ardnagal Estates. The 11-hectare site will become a scenic destination featuring a 34-bedroom hotel, holiday homes, lodges, and glamping pods — all designed to boost tourism while protecting nature. Key commitments include eradicating invasive species, restoring a public pier, and building a family play area. This transformation aims to heal the community’s wounds, enhance biodiversity, and ease pressure on lochside hotspots — turning a forgotten eyesore into a vibrant new attraction.
