Old Photographs of Campbeltown Scotland
Old Photographs of Campbeltown, Scotland. Campbeltown is a town and former royal burgh in Argyll and Bute. It lies by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Originally known as Kinlochkilkerran, which means head of the loch by the kirk of Ciarán, it was renamed in the 17th century as Campbell's Town after Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyle, was granted the site in 1667. Campbeltown became an important centre for shipbuilding and Scotch whisky, and a busy fishing port.
