I am a tourist who first came to Kintyre in 1978 and I have been back many a time by bus, push-bike and car. I have acquaintances in Clachan, Muasdale C´town and Tarbert and in other places along my rather comprehensive route. My journeys can be viewed here;

which also includes a a link to my Google fly-over of Scotland.
Last year, I bumped into the smallholders´gathering in Clachan and hope to make it again this year. Perhaps it could be announced before mid-March (of any year).
