Portavadie is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
The Portavadie complex was built with the help of local labour from the fishing village 'Tarbert' that lay due west across Loch Fyne. The locals from Tarbert who worked there were told that oil had been found on the west shores Loch. There was never a reason why the project was closed and the site lay redundant from that point on. In the mid eighties the enclosed port was used by a local fish farm company.
Portavadie is a ferry terminal connecting Cowal to Kintyre by car ferry which has been an all year round service since 1997, although fast developing is a additional (perhaps rival) marina which is set to offer competitive sheltered berthing rates, excellent facilities including restaurant and wireless broadband internet access. Portavadie is also close to the sailing village of Tighnabruaich, where a few shops and the renowned An Lochan hotel and restaurant are located.
