LOCATION

The subjects benefit from not only a prime trading position, but arguably the most prominent trading position in the whole town, at the start of the Main Street and just off the Market Cross roundabout, where the Main Street meets the quayside. Campbeltown is a popular tourist town and former Royal Burgh which lies on the stunning Kintyre Peninsula in Western Scotland.

The subjects lie within a busy commercial area with a good surrounding mix of shops, offices, bars, restaurants & cafes, ensuring good levels of footfall & passing traffic throughout the day and evening. The subjects are only a ‘stone’s throw’ from the harbour front, marina and ferry/cruise ship terminal, and other nearby amenities and attractions include the Campbeltown Picture House, Kinloch Public Park and the Linda McCartney Memorial Garden.

Campbeltown is a charming coastal town known for its rich maritime history, friendly community, and stunning natural surroundings. Once hailed as the “whisky capital of the world,” the town still boasts several renowned distilleries and attracts whisky enthusiasts year-round, with 3 new distilleries currently under construction.

Campbeltown offers a unique blend of heritage and tranquillity, with picturesque views over Campbeltown Loch and easy access to unspoiled beaches, golf courses, and walking trails. The town serves as a regional hub for locals and visitors alike, with regular ferry connections, a small airport, and a growing tourism industry driven by its cultural festivals, whisky tours, and outdoor pursuits.

Nearby Machrihanish Golf Course is world renowned and is undergoing a multi-million-pound expansion including the addition of a second 18-hole championship links course, including a new luxury hotel, clubhouse, and 50 new golf cottages.  This will greatly enhance the local economy and has in part also led to work being done on Campbeltown Harbour to cater for cruise ships and large boats, including the Waverley, in anticipation of the local boom and expected increase in visitor numbers from throughout the world.
