There’s far more to it than whisky alone, but Campbeltown used to be home to around 30 distilleries in the 1920s. Today, Springbank (and Kilkerran) and Glen Scotia are left, plus the Cadenheads shop specialising in whisky and rum. The Springbank bar was very friendly and it was great to see a significant number of Japanese visitors there and around the town. Japanese whisky has significant roots there dating back 125 years https://www.gla.ac.uk/explore/avenue/ourpast/japanesewhiskeysroots/ #Whisky #Campbeltown #scotland

The fragmentary but intriguing ruins of Saddell Abbey, on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsula north of Campbeltown. It was founded in 1140 and is home to a truly remarkable collection of late medieval grave slabs and effigies.

At my local, the ineffable Pot Still. Someone on the staff has been to Campbeltown... From this hard choice I've had the Kilkerran and the Springbank 7 (Full Bourbon). Both *extremely* fine.
When I get back from Italy I must raid #Campbeltown...
Chan eil dia agam ach faodaidh mi fhathast tlachd a ghabhail san ealain.
Seo uamh air Eilean Dà Bharr, Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain.
I have no gods but can still enjoy the art. This from a cave near Campbeltown.
