MULL
OF KINTYRE
WILD, MOODY and DRAMATIC!
...and the mist certainly comes over the sea!
A MUST SEE for visitors to the area - The
Mull of Kintyre deserves a song to be written about it!
MACHRIHANISH
Machrihanish is the home of the famous Machrihanish Golf Club and it is
certainly one of the most idyllic parts of the Kintyre peninsula, with its spectacular
panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean there are few more beautiful
sunsets to be seen anywhere in the world
Also why not visit.

CAMPBELTOWN
A beautiful little town set around a picturesque harbour on the sea loch.
There is a lovely walk along the loch side with its palm trees and pitch
and putt! Campbeltown boasts numerous shops, galleries and craft outlets,
restaurants, take-aways and pubs. The Springbank distillery is well worth a
visit. Campbeltown is set on the Gulf Stream, the temperature is generally
above the UK average, as witnessed by the many streets and gardens with
unprotected palm trees.
DAVAAR
ISLAND
and the cave painting of the crucifixion (painted in 1887)
The island can be reached by foot along a stony causeway during low tide.
The walk is quite tough along the stones and rocks but it is well worth the
effort and there are excellent views over to Campbeltown and surrounding
area from the Island.
TARBERT
..a small fishing village with a picturesque
harbour. Good walks from village to Tarbert Castle and a lovely
gallery alongside the harbour.
SADDELL ABBEY
The whole Sadell area is very
beautiful. There is the visitors centre, the castle and the bay and
all are a MUST to see. The castle is no longer open to the public but
it sits alongside saddell Bay which is a wonderful stretch of golden sand,
perfect for lazing and picnics. The beach is where Sir Paul McCartney
filmed the video for his hit song MULL OF KINTYRE accompanied by the
Campbeltown Pipers.
