Top 5 Things to do Good for Couples in Campbeltown, Scotland
Campbeltown; (/ˈkæmbəltən/ ( listen); Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain or Ceann Locha) is a town and former royal burgh in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It lies by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Originally known as Kinlochkilkerran (an anglicization of the Gaelic, which means "head of the loch by the kirk of Ciarán"), it was renamed in the 17th century as Campbell's Town after Archibald Campbell (Earl of Argyle) was granted the site in 1667. Campbeltown became an important centre for shipbuilding and Scotch whisky, and a busy fishing port.

Amazing experience riding in the wilds of southern Kintyre. The half day ride took a group of us up and over moorlands and into ancient atmospheric woods where we found a clearing with enormous mysterious standing stone, then down the glen to ride in the river. The herd of horses all gorgeous, each with character and happy to let Yeva the lurcher take the lead, who bounded ahead to check our route and was like a young deer jumping everything in sight. Our hosts that day were Nikki, Cara and Lauren who are are total awsome wild riding experts. Such an experience! will try horseback archery next!!!

This beach is circa 2.5km long with a car park at the start, just a short way outside of Campbeltown. We were blessed with mild weather and when the sun broke through it felt like walking along a Caribbean shore at times. We walked the whole way down and back, picking up 12 bags of plastic and non recyclable rubbish on the way (not that the beach was remotely dirty, we were just doing our bit whilst there) There were some dog walkers, some families set up for the day and some surfers too - something for everyone and a must-visit if you are in the area
