"On a drizzly July day many years ago I went on an excursion day to Campbeltown. It was my first visit to this town and in my 3 hour stroll I was not favourably impressed.
Campbeltown Loch seemed tame and featureless. The Laggan outside the town stretching to the shores of the Atlantic was as dull as a section of Central Africa. The town itself was gaunt and unkempt.
The only subject of interest was an ancient sculptured cross with Celtic carving. A gallows I reflected would have been more appropriate. Many of the buildings were jail like and would have been an ideal setting for an execution"
The next posting will be of the return visit.
