Name: Christine Martin on Jul 8, 2006State:Country: GBComments: Argyll and Bute Council know 'cost of everything and value of nothing' This generation of councillors who have the privilige of being custodians of a superb public resource such as Castle Toward, are prepared to destroy this historic and irreplaceable facility for the education and culture of our future - our children. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. This campaign will not simply disappear like theFlag

Not from the west coast originally I would have loved to have access to this kind of course when a pupil myself. It would be an utter disgrace and an act of sheer stupidity to take these facilities away.Flag

Name: Dorothy Hill on Mar 28, 2007State:Country: GBComments: My daughter has spent many a happy time there doing Music,This has contributed to her chosen career.If you check I think you'll find our science,teaching and medical professions owe a great deal to the music world,most of the young musicians Ive known over the last 20+years have gone into those professions we may not have many young musicians who make a career of it as my daughter has,this takes a true love and dedication for music, but the mental discipline gained in the early years seems to stand them in good stead for other subjects.Go on check it out.I think you find most of our greatest people have played a musical instrument of some kind.Have you ever thought of what it would be like to remove all the music from soundtracks etc for just one week Castle Tower has also offered children less fortunate to have a great opportunity to get together with like minded people.Yes you may offer an other accommodation but is it suitable those courses are pretty intense the students need to be warm and comfortable.Flag

Name: Keith Macbean on Dec 20, 2009State:Country: United KingdomComments: What will be achieved by closing Castle Toward? 1. Argyll & Bute Council will get some capital income. 2.Argyll & Bute will be guilty of making more than 30 local people unemployed, deny Scottish children from all backgrounds the opportunity to have the unique experience that is Toward and to develop as an individuals. Scotland needs Castle Toward and the opinion of the tens of thousands who have benefitted from attending there should be placed well above the bean counters.Flag
