Carradale Network Centre
 

Carradale was once a busy fishing village and a popular holiday destination served by the Clyde steamers. There is still a small fishing fleet but more recently forestry has had a strong influence on the village with large-scale afforestation beginning in the early 1950s. The history of the village is illustrated at the Network Centre which is open from Easter to October.
