Whether it is Scotslion, or the Argyll Group, it is from just one unique island that all of this began in 1985… <\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The most stunning thing is that this only cost our director…<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
 \u00a35 (five pounds) a year to lease.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
When you look at what that \u00a35 received, it may make more sense…<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

n January 2025, forty years after the first project was completed, a friend added up all of the adventures that were inspired from one place, from an island sanctuary.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We had not quite realised and than our friend for her kindness in summing up the adventures to date.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So it makes reasonable sense that whichever project you might be interested in discovering more about, then the unique property site may, hopefully prove as inspirational and helpful to you as it has and is for us…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In case you were wondering, we started our journey as a group of volunteers from here…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
It is still a source of comfort that an old wreck of a coastguard lookout building helped as a catalyst results across 28 years that a friend just took the time to work out ad send to us…<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A very harsh personnel officer at Strathclyde Police told our managing director he was “unemployably disabled”<\/em> and “best get used to the new daytime television.”<\/em> To which that human resources Amadan<\/a><\/span> received the rejoinder: “Aye Right.”<\/strong><\/em> (Glaswegian for no thankyou).<\/span><\/p>\n
The next 28 years saw projects such as this managed, albeit with certain adaptations as required by a person with disabilities. It is worth pointing out that people who are disabled, often end up as good problem-solvers. That is out of necessity.<\/strong> Try getting a wheelchair up a flight of stairs in a bank building (for example) that has no facilities for people with spinal damage.<\/span><\/p>\n
Though most folk do have compassion and empathy. We know this as fact. There are 111 active shareholders within our (former) Argyll Group plc network (currently 9 projects\/companies).<\/span><\/p>\n
Specifically 8 shareholders of this Scotslion Ltd., company, all of whom have helped create those 203 new jobs and enabled 81 shut\/closed\/derelict buildings to be renovated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u00a0 and on pages and for companies like this one, if a an “unemployable” disabled director can trigger the creation of jobs and the project manage the renovation of derelict\/closed buildings, then as a legacy to that person, we would be happy to help you too if you find yourself in a similar position of being injured on duty. You have our contact details… they are on this very page.<\/span><\/p>\n
It is not necessary to renovate 81 buildings, nor create 203 new jobs, we would heartily recommend this quote…<\/span><\/p>\n
“Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.”<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

Often attributed to president Theodore Roosevelt, but he credits it, in his Autobiography<\/em>, Chapter IX, to Squire Bill Widener of Widener\u2019s Valley, Virginia.<\/span><\/div>\n

as for safety, the mobile phones are switched OFF whilst driving.<\/span> We<\/span> always return messages left via text.<\/span>\u00a0This is done once we arrive at the destination and the mobile phone is switched back on. However, the older of the mobile devices is 11 years of age and drops the occasional text.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile with respect to TEXTS…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
You should receive a text reply within 1 to 4 hours.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Frequently we reply within 5 to 10 minutes.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
If you have <\/strong><\/em><\/span>not<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span> received a text reply within 24 hours, please<\/span>\u00a0either resend to us the text, or make contact on the phone via old-fashioned voice contact. <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To complete this Contact Page<\/em>, here are our social media accounts across the various projects. Rather than have one page for each of our former Argyll Group plc network and end up with readers, tenants, shareholders and job-creators looking at over a dozen websites, we are will add news and articles to one central core page on social media.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Social Media Page ~ Please Note:<\/span><\/strong> Each renovation project has a dedicated and ring-fence limited liability company from start to finish. This is the gold-standard of corporate structure. Why? Because Companies House maintain an open-source registry that is publicly available, online, 24 hours per day. <\/span><\/p>\n
The Companies House protocol of openness ensures that policies we insist upon, such a ban on mortgages at any of our buildings with 100% of our projects being owned by the members’ can be independently checked, via the Companies House website. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Focussing back onto our social media page as above linked, whilst each limited company within our network is separate for project-management and accounting purposes, our shareholder base do tend spread their ownership across a selection of companies (but all in a different and unique way). Hence no “group” accounts as this would not work in our structure.<\/span><\/p>\n
But, the social media aspect of such a diverse portfolio makes it far more sensible to have just ONE social media account (Facebook is our preferred platform ~ though sometimes we do place items on Instagram + Twitter platforms).<\/span><\/p>\n
from closed~hotels being renovated, to Grade~A lighthouse stations being brought back from derelict condition, to seemingly mundand shut~shops being brought back to life (and creating many jons in the process)<\/p>\n
shut~shops being brought would mean our shareholders and especially those for whom we seek to assist in growing their busness es, would need to “follow”or subscribe tos 12 different social media accounts as at 2025.<\/p>\n
It is far simpler, more efficient and less wasteful to maintain just one set of social media accounts<\/p>\n
Sinc e2007 when the Argyll Group plc (public limited company) was taken private, each company,\u00a0 such as Scotlsion Ld., has been a stand-aloe entiy. This has been very helpful in keeping each project’s accounts separate. Howver, given the numbers involved as the project renovations and job creationefforts, along with High Street Rescue initiative and charity registrations became acidentally successful, we are,<\/p>\n

Focussing back onto our social media page as above linked, whilst each separate limited company within our network may have some shareholders that own parts of some of the compaies, each of the entiteis within our network are legally ring-fenced and separate. Hence no “group” accounts are appropriate.<\/p>\n
