An EV charger installer fits dedicated electric vehicle charging points at homes and workplaces - from single wallbox units to multi-point commercial installations.

A proper home charger is significantly faster and safer than a three-pin plug and grants or funding may be available - check the Energy Saving Trust website for current schemes in Scotland.

Arrochar is a village at the head of Loch Long in the shadow of the Arrochar Alps, a compact group of mountains that includes The Cobbler - one of the most popular hill walks in Scotland.

It sits at the gateway to Argyll for travellers coming from Glasgow and the central belt, with the A83 climbing over the Rest and Be Thankful pass towards Loch Fyne and Inveraray.

Properties include traditional stone cottages, Victorian-era houses and modern homes, with a number of properties offering dramatic lochside and mountain views.

The village has a primary school, shops and accommodation catering to both residents and the steady stream of hillwalkers and tourists passing through.

The Highland climate and exposed mountain setting place significant demands on buildings, making skilled tradespeople essential for maintaining properties against the elements.

Argyll and Bute is a vast council area on Scotland's western seaboard, stretching from the Cowal peninsula and the shores of Loch Lomond to the Atlantic islands of Mull, Islay, Jura, Bute and Tiree - a landscape of sea lochs, mountains and some of the longest coastline of any local authority in Britain.

Oban is the main town and the gateway to the islands, a busy harbour where CalMac ferries depart for Mull, Coll, Tiree, Colonsay and beyond. Helensburgh and Dunoon serve the Cowal and Rosneath communities closer to Glasgow, while Campbeltown at the tip of Kintyre, Lochgilphead in mid-Argyll, Inveraray on Loch Fyne and Rothesay on Bute each act as local centres for their surrounding areas.

The economy is shaped by tourism, whisky, fishing and farming. Islay alone is home to nine working distilleries and draws visitors from around the world, while the wider region's seafood industry - salmon farming, shellfish and traditional fishing - is a major employer. The landscapes of Mull, the Trossachs fringe and the Kintyre coast attract walkers, sailors and wildlife enthusiasts throughout the year.

Ferries are the lifeline of the area, connecting island and peninsula communities to the mainland and to each other. CalMac services run from Oban, Kennacraig, Gourock and Wemyss Bay, while road links depend on the A82, A83 and A85 trunk roads - routes that wind through some of the most scenic driving in Scotland but can be challenging in winter.

Argyll and Bute has a distinctive character shaped by its maritime heritage, Highland culture and scattered communities. It is a place where wild landscape and close-knit towns sit side by side, offering a quality of life that draws people looking for space, scenery and a strong sense of community.
