Campbeltown
The Gaelic name for Campbeltown is Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain. The town is located in Argyll and Bute on the Kintyre Peninsula. There are a number of things that the town is famous for and these are shipbuilding, fishing and Scotch whisky. Transport to and from the area is mainly by boat and as a result of the isolation and lack of public transport car hire in Campbeltown is going to be important. The A83 and then A82 will eventually lead to Glasgow but there are plenty of things to see in between. Since 1996 the faded distillery industry has been seen to be improving after the 34 factories that ran in the town’s heyday were reduced to just 1 in 1990.
Davor Island is a beautiful and remote place to visit. Since the lighthouse became automated in 1983 the only human inhabitants are the caretakers. It has 7 caves and in 1887 Archibald MacKinnon painted the crucifixion in one. The tale goes that when he was discovered as the artist he was banished as the inhabitants of the area had originally believed the painting was a work of God. For golf lovers Machrihanish has a course that is praised by many.
There are many beautiful buildings in Campbeltown, with the most noticeable being the Town Hall. At the harbor there are a collection of interesting buildings including the earliest Scottish cinema and the Campbeltown Museum. A cross believed to have been constructed and carved in 1380 near Machrihanish has been known as the Campbeltown Market cross ever since. There are a good choice of hotels and self catering establishments that make Campbletown a good base to discover Argyle.
