In this episode we explore the charming town of Campbeltown. Renowned Scottish crime fiction writer Denzil Meyrick shares his favourite dining spots in Kintyre, while Iain provides insights into the Mull of Kintyre Music Festival, taking place in August 2023. Iain also discusses the Kintyre Route 66, a guide to the region's attractions, including castles, beaches, and eateries. The episode covers Campbeltown's rich history, from its whisky distilleries to its role as a bustling fishing port. We also learn about the Linda McCartney Memorial Garden, a peaceful tribute to Sir Paul McCartney's late wife.
