Until Scottish counties were abolished, for most purposes, in 1975, the constituency represented the county of Argyll, except that constituency boundaries may not have coincided at all times with county boundaries, and any parliamentary burgh within the county would have been outside the constituency.
In 1996, 13 years after the abolition of the Argyll constituency and creation of the Argyll and Bute constituency, the Argyll district, plus a portion of the Dumbarton district of Strathclyde, became the Argyll and Bute unitary council area.
Argyll (/ɑːrˈɡaɪl/), archaicallyArgyle (Earra-Ghàidheal in modern Gaelic pronounced[ˈaːr̴əɣɛː.əɫ̪]), is a region of western Scotland corresponding with most of ancient Dál Riata, which was located on the island of Great Britain. In a historical context, Argyll can be used to mean the entire western coast between the Mull of Kintyre and Cape Wrath. At present, Argyll (sometimes anglicised as Argyllshire) is also one of the registration counties of Scotland. Argyll was also a medieval bishopric with its cathedral at Lismore, as well as an early modern earldom and dukedom, the Dukedom of Argyll.
Between 1890 and 1975, Argyll was a county for local government purposes.
The name derives from Old Gaelic airer Goídel (border region of the Gaels). The early thirteenth-century author of De Situ Albanie explains that "the name Arregathel means margin (i.e., border region) of the Scots or Irish, because all Scots and Irish are generally called Gattheli (i.e. Gaels), from their ancient warleader known as Gaithelglas."
The present council area was created in 1996, when it was carved out of the Strathclyderegion, which was a two-tier local government region of 19 districts, created in 1975. Argyll and Bute merged the existing Argyll and Bute district and one ward of the Dumbarton district. The Dumbarton ward, called 'Helensburgh and Lomond', included the burgh of Helensburgh and consisted of an area to the west of Loch Lomond, north of the Firth of Clyde and mostly east of Loch Long.
The council area can be described also by reference to divisions of the counties which were abolished in 1975. The council area includes most of the county of Argyll (Argyll minus the Morvern area, north of Mull, which became part of the Highland region in 1975), part of the county of Bute (the Isle of Bute) and part of the county of Dunbartonshire (the Helensburgh and Lomond ward).
Argyll is a residential neighbourhood in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, located on the south side of the city between the two branches of the Mill Creek Ravine. It is bounded by the ravine on the west and north east sides, and by Argyll Road on the south and south east sides. On the other side of Mill Creek Ravine are the residential neighbourhoods of Avonmore and Hazeldean. On the other side of Argyll Road is the industrial subdivision of Coronet Addition Industrial. The Argyll Sports Centre is located in the neighbourhood.
Most residential construction (93%) in the neighbourhood occurred between the end of World War II and 1970. Almost all the residences in the neighbourhood are single-family dwellings. The majority (83%) of residences are owner-occupied.
Demographics
In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, Argyll had a population of 7002853000000000000♠853 living in 7002354000000000000♠354 dwellings, a 5% change from its 2009 population of 7002812000000000000♠812. With a land area of 0.36km2 (0.14sqmi), it had a population density of 7003236940000000000♠2,369.4 people/km2 in 2012.

Until Scottish counties were abolished, for most purposes, in 1975, the constituency represented the county of Argyll, except that constituency boundaries may not have coincided at all times with county boundaries, and any parliamentary burgh within the county would have been outside the constituency.
In 1996, 13 years after the abolition of the Argyll constituency and creation of the Argyll and Bute constituency, the Argyll district, plus a portion of the Dumbarton district of Strathclyde, became the Argyll and Bute unitary council area.
