A new way to show your support for a more sustainable community in North Argyll.
LORN has lots of ideas and plans for improving our local personal and commercial sustainability in the Oban & North Argyll area in future years.
Join in with the Lorn community to add your ideas, needs, and thoughts.

Things ARE changing, be part of it, we can do alot for ourselves, after all, no-one else is going to do it for us !!!
