Old Photograph Kirk Street Campbeltown Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses on Kirk Street in Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland. Campbeltown is one of five areas in Scotland categorised as a distinct malt whisky producing region, and is home to the Campbeltown single malts. At one point it had over 30 distilleries and proclaimed itself " the whisky capital of the world ". However, a focus on quantity rather than quality, and the combination of prohibition and the Great Depression in the United States, led to most distilleries going out of business. Today only three active distilleries remain in Campbeltown: Glen Scotia, Glengyle, and Springbank.
