Campbeltown Loch, Sea inlet in Kintyre Peninsula, Scotland
The inlet extends along the southeast coast of Kintyre Peninsula, connecting to Kilbrannan Sound with Davaar Island at its entrance point.
During the 19th century, the waterway supported numerous whisky distilleries, establishing Campbeltown as a major producer of Scottish spirits.
The inlet influenced local music, leading to the creation of a celebrated 1963 song by performer Andy Stewart about the connection between water and whisky.
Visitors can access multiple walking paths along the shores of Campbeltown Loch, offering views of marine wildlife and coastal landscapes.
At low tide, people can walk across a natural causeway to reach Davaar Island, where a cave contains an 1887 painting of the crucifixion.
