Machrihanish Golf Club is situated close to the airport and is a championship course which has been voted the best first hole in the world. It comes highly recommended from all golfers who have played there. There are two other courses in the area at Southend and Carradale. There is also a new 18-hole golf course opening in 2009 near to the airport called Machrihanish Dunes. More information can be found at the www.thewaygolfbegan.com website.
Enjoy a guided tour and find out the secrets of whisky making in Kintyre at the Springbank Distillery, founded in 1828 by the Mitchell family - and still in their hands today. It retains the old distilling methods to make Longrow whisky, and welcomes visitors, provided you phone beforehand.
Close by, Glenbarr Abbey is an 18th century Gothic mansion and visitor centre, offering a fascinating glimpse of family life in years gone by. The Heritage Centre is a treasure-trove of interesting information, artefacts and exhibits, with a comfortable tea room too.
At the mouth of Campbeltown Loch is Davaar Island, reached by foot at low tide, with its cave paintings depicting the crucifixion. Far from ancient, they were painted in 1887 by Archibald MacKinnon, inspired by a dream.
