About Argyll

Argyll has its significant place in Scotland's story. Kilmartin valley in Mid Argyll comprises Scotland's richest prehistoric landscape with a concentration of cairns, standing stones and other impressive remains which have dotted the landscape from around 3000 B.C. Many of these monuments are easily accessible to the public and interpretation is provided by the award winning museum at Kilmartin. However, almost every area of Argyll and Bute contains visible and often dramatic evidence of pre-historic occupation. Argyll also formed a key role as cradle of the new Scottish nation and of its Christian faith through the arrival of the "Scotti" from Ulster to form the Kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll from around 500 A.D. With the hill fort at Dunadd in Mid Argyll as their initial capital, they enlarged their political and spiritual kingdom with the assistance of St. Columba and the infant Celtic church until, in 843 A.D., a King of Scots (and Scotland) was created in the person of Dalriadan king, Kenneth MacAlpine.


Campbeltown Airport

Campbeltown Airport

Campbeltown Airport is located 5kms northwest of Campbeltown, near the tip of Scotland’s Kintyre peninsula. Until 1997 the airport was under military auspices, serving as a Royal Air Force and NATO air base. That is why this tiny airport’s runway is one of the longest in Europe. Today, the airport hosts regularly scheduled Loganair flights to and from Glasgow. The small terminal is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 until 17:30, and is closed on weekends (unless by arrangement). Among the area’s attractions is the Machrihanish Golf Club, a few kilometres from the airport, which has the distinction of being voted as having the best 1st hole in the world. A small car park offers short- and long-term parking within walking distance of the terminal.

Close to the sands of Stravannan Bay on Bute's west coast, Bute Golf Club's 9 hole course provides a delightful location in a rural setting with the dramatic backdrop of the mountains of Arran. The course although only nine holes offers an array of challenges from the tricky 2nd over the wall to negotiating the burn at the short 3rd and the hillocks at the 8th.Situated near Stravannan Bay on Bute's west coast you could class Bute Golf Club as unique. Change at the road end throw the golf bag over the shoulder and proceed to walk through Quochag farm. After a five minute walk through a couple of fields you get to the last gate that gets you into the course. Our club house is a very quaint small cabin.
