The torpedo testing station at Arrochar on Loch Long, was opened in April 1912, to test torpedoes manufactured at the Admiralty torpedo factory in Greenock. The loch provided a quiet stretch of water along which unarmed torpedoes could be fired, observed and then recovered.
The range closed in late 1986. The buildings survived until about 2007.
