Campbeltown One of the largest towns in Argyll, Campbeltown is located on the Kintyre Peninsula and sits some 38 miles south of the port of Tarbet. The town looks out over Campbeltown Loch which is protected at its mouth by Davaar Island and so enjoys a protected position in the landscape. Campbeltown Airport has one of the longest runways in Europe (dating from its days as an RAF base) and served as a diversion site during the testing of Concorde. Once the home to 34 distilleries only 3 are now in operation, Glen Scotia, Glengyle and Springbank. Driving to Glasgow, and therefore access to the motorway network, involves traveling up and around Lock Fyne and takes approximately 4 hours, while in the summer a ferry operates from Campbeltown to Ardrosson on selected days. Flights take less than an hour to reach Glasgow and operate daily through the year.
