| About Campbeltown Campbeltown has the unlikely distinction of being the furthest town from any other on the British mainland. It is the capital of Kintyre, a massive peninsula 54 mils long and never more than 10 miles wide, bordered on one side by the Atlantic, and on the other the Firth Of Clyde, and extending northwards into the huge sea-loch, Loch Fyne. --------------------------------------------------------- Probably the least known and positively the smallest malt region of Scotland. --------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps the most popular attraction in this area is the Cave on Davaar Island, which lies off Kildalloig Point, in the late 1800s a Painting appeared of the Crucifixion, lit only by a shaft of light from above, on the Right you can see the Painting ... --------------------------------------------------------- The most interesting sight in the town is The Wee Picture House on Hall Street, first opened in May 1913, no visit to Campbeltown would be complete witout haveing a look at the glories of a bygone era in the oldest cinema in Scotland. --------------------------------------------------------- |
