Campbeltown Harbor

Highlight • River

Campbeltown is peaceful town located on a deep bay sheltered by Davaar Island and surrounding hills. It was once known as ‘the whiskey capital of the world’.

Tip by

11.1 km

Dating back to around 100 to 200 AD, Kildonan Dun is a well-preserved fortified farmstead between Campbeltown and Carradale. The crumbling walls, surrounded by farmland, would once have been used to house people and livestock.

You can explore the remarkable ruins which overlook the ocean. Entrance is free.

Network Tea Room

Highlight • Cafe

Conveniently placed for a late breakfast/early lunch on our cycle ride from Campbeltown to Ardrishaig along the NCN78 Caledonian Way. Very helpful staff who made us sandwiches to take with us for a mid afternoon snack. Not that we had much appetite after hot filled rolls, tea and cake!

Campbeltown Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Campbeltown was once hailed as ‘the whisky capital of the world’, with 34 distilleries. Only three survive in the peaceful little town these days. Do not fear, though, good quality Scotch is still in plentiful supply. Nestled in a deep bay sheltered by Davaar Island and the surrounding hills, the town is the perfect base for exploring Kintyre. You find accommodation, places for food and drink, shops, and other attractions.
