You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Firth of Clyde at Kilcreggan, with Waverley passing Loch Long.jpg|thumb|The [[Firth of Clyde]] at Kilcreggan, with [[PS Waverley|PS ''Waverley'']] approaching across [[Loch Long]]]]

'''Kilcreggan''' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]: ''Cille Chreagain'') is a village on the [[Rosneath]] peninsula in [[Argyll and Bute]], West of [[Scotland]].

It developed on the north shore of the [[Firth of Clyde]] at a time when [[Clyde steamer]]s brought it within easy reach of [[Glasgow]] at about 25&nbsp;miles (40&nbsp;km) west of the centre of Glasgow by boat. Many Glasgow shipowners and merchants made their summer retreats or even permanent residences there, and this is reflected in some very grand houses along the shore. Not all have remained occupied; some were demolished and others have been converted into flats.

Its location at the end of the [[Rosneath peninsula]], between the [[Gare Loch]] and [[Loch Long]], makes the journey 38&nbsp;miles (61&nbsp;km) by road. The B833 minor road runs along the shore for the length of the village then cuts north inland just to the east of Kilcreggan pier rather than going east along the shore past Portkil Bay to Rosneath Point. About 2&nbsp;miles (3&nbsp;km) north of Kilcreggan the road reaches the village of [[Rosneath]] then continues north along the shores of the Gare Loch.

The majority of the houses look south across the Clyde towards the towns of [[Gourock]] and [[Greenock]], and further down the firth towards the [[Isle of Arran]].

Large attractive houses continue westwards from the pier towards Baron's Point, which marks the southern entrance to Loch Long, almost to the adjoining village of [[Cove, Argyll and Bute|Cove]] which looks across Cove Bay towards [[Blairmore, Argyll|Blairmore]], only about 2&nbsp;miles (3&nbsp;km) distant, but separated by the deep waters of Loch Long. To the east of the pier, houses at Portkil extend down to Portkil Bay, and the 413-foot (126&nbsp;m) hill at Rosneath home farm is topped by a television mast.

A ferry subsidised by [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]] provides a regular service from Kilcreggan pier across the Clyde to Gourock. Until 2012, the ferry service also included crossings of the Gare Loch to [[Helensburgh]], and was operated by [[Clyde Marine Services]] which ran the elderly ((MV|Kenilworth)) until 2007 when they introduced the new ((MV|Seabus)) for the route. After re-tendering, the contract for the Gourock to Kilcreggan route was awarded by SPT to Clydelink which bought the smaller MV ''Island Princess'' for the run and commenced services on 1 April 2012. On 24 March 2012 more than 400 people protested at the pier over fears for the future of the service.<ref>((Cite web  | title = Argyll News: Inaugural Clydelink Kilcreggan to Gourock ferry service |publisher = For Argyll | url = http://forargyll.com/2012/04/inaugural-clydelink-kilcreggan-to-gourock-ferry-service/ | accessdate = 27 April 2012 ))</ref><ref name="www.bbc.co.uk">((Cite news  | title = BBC News - Ferry fears spark protest at historic Kilcreggan Pier | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-17500570 | date =  24 March 2012| accessdate = 27 April 2012 ))</ref> The contract was taken away from Clydelink and returned to Clyde Marine, who resumed the Gourock to Kilcreggan ferry service on 14 May 2018 with the former ''Seabus'', now in blue livery and renamed ''Chieftain''.<ref name="Now 2018">((cite web | title=IN Pictures -- First Day Of Ferry Route's New Operator | website= Inverclyde Now: Shipping News | date=14 May 2018 | url=https://www.inverclydenow.com/news/inverclyde-shipping/in-pictures-first-day-of-ferry-route-s-new-operator | access-date=21 October 2018))</ref> [[Caledonian MacBrayne|CalMac]] are to take over the contract from 1 June 2020, leasing ''Chieftain'' from Clyde Marine.<ref name="Lochside 25 February 2020">((cite web | title=June date for CalMac to take over Kilcreggan ferry | website=The Lochside Press | date=25 February 2020 | url=https://thelochsidepress.com/2020/02/25/june-date-for-calmac-to-take-over-kilcreggan-ferry/ | access-date=25 February 2020))</ref>

Kilcreggan is in the historic county of [[Dunbartonshire]]. Before the local government reorganisation in 1975 it formed part of the joint [[police burgh]] of [[Cove (Scotland)|Cove]] and Kilcreggan. It then formed part of [[Dumbarton]] District and [[Strathclyde Region]] until the reorganisation of the 1990s. It has been part of Argyll and Bute unitary authority since then.

Craigrownie Parish Church of Scotland serves the communities of Ardpeaton, Cove and Kilcreggan.
