Campbeltown

Campbeltown today is a strangely sober and robust town at the end of the Kintyre peninsula. In the middle of the 19th centaury it was a thriving centre for whisky production with the town being home to 34 distilleries at its peak allowing it to proclaim itself to be the whisky capital of the world. Today there are only two distilleries in Campbeltown, Glen Scotia and Springbank.
