BUTE MAP 2: ARDMALEISH POINT to ARDBEG Hinterland Geology and Coastal Geomorphology: Dalradian schists continue to dominate this coastal region. The Kames Bay area is dominated by Dunoon Phylites which give way to Dalradian Schists towards Port Bannatyne where the boundary between these two lithologies is fairly well defined. Marine deposits are represented along the coastal edge. At Kames Bay sand and shingle is present on a wide intertidal area. The bay has no distinct coastal edge. The beach slopes gently to an irregular grassy surface which in turn slopes upwards to the main road leading to Rhubodach Ferry. The bay is flanked by a typical sea-loch coastline of rocks, stones and boulders. This gives way to shingle and exposed rock platform at Ardbeg Point. Erosion Class: This coastal unit displays both accretion and local erosion. The coastline becomes increasingly more exposed from north to south with low rock platforms and shingle present. At the head of Kames Bay, shingle and sand is accreting in front of a continuous sea wall. Towards Port Bannatyne, hard sea defences continue to lend stability to this area of coastline. Built Heritage & Archaeology: The sites in this area included a disused quarry at Ardmaleish Point and deserted settlements. The coastal sites identified ranged from a possible fish trap to maritime structures like Port Bannatyne Pier. The majority of the heritage sites were centred around Port Bannatyne itself.

The beach is wide and entirely composed of shingle and stones. 3. PORT BANNATYNE NS 0777 6740 1.3km Boulders Low edge (<5m) Raised beach Port Bannatyne is built on marine deposits. Seawalls protect this small coastal town. The foreshore is dominated by gravel and boulder beds. Raised beach Ardbeg point is an rock platform outcrop overlain by superficial marine deposits forming a small peninsula. FICL/876/0/27/7/04 27 of 219 CFA

BUTE MAP 2: EROSION 1. ARDMELEISH POINT to KAMES BAY NS 0270 7440 2.4km Both accreting and eroding This section of coastline is fairly exposed to south easterly gales running through Loch Striven. Although no active erosion was noted this unit was classified as both accreting and eroding as scouring by wave action is leading to the accretion of shingle along the HWMST. 2. KAMES BAY NS0660 6770 0.6km Accreting or Stable Sea defences are protecting Kames Bay from erosion. Sand and shingle are banked at the HWMS mark showing that sediment is being focused within the bay. 3. KAMES BAY to ARDBEG POINT NS 0800 6730 1.9km Both accreting and eroding This section of coastline is protected by sea defence works along the seafront at Bannatyne. Shingle and sand is being distributed along the HWMS mark as a result of longshore drift. It is likely that this will be displaced and concentrated according to storm frequency.
