Join nearly 300 businesses who have registered to accept the Argyll and Bute gift card.
The gift card scheme encourages people to keep spending local to support businesses and jobs.
The card works the same as a gift voucher and offers recipients a wide range of businesses to choose from including restaurants, gifts, experiences, accommodation and services.
Councillor Alastair Redman, Policy Lead for the Economy and Communities:
“We are incredibly lucky to have fantastic independent businesses and local produce here in Argyll and Bute. From farmers markers and restaurants to gift shops and outdoor activity providers, the gift card is helping to support businesses and jobs. By gifting the card, you are providing a much needed economic boost to the local area and helping to showcase what Argyll and Bute has to offer.
With more people using the card as a method of payment, we would love more businesses to sign up to the scheme.”
