[edit] Get in

[edit] By Bus

Campbeltown (Scottish Gaelic: "Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain") is served by the citylink bus from Glasgow to Campbeltown 3 times per day (including Sundays). Note that this bus calls at every settlement along the way which results in a long journey time. The bus also calls at various places allowing passengers to transfer onto ferries run by Caledonian MacBrayne (see below).

[edit] By Air

Twice daily service (not weekends) run by British Airways (operated under the name Loganair). Flight time is approximately 30 mins, though with the right weather behind the plane can be done in about 10!

[edit] By Boat

  • Caledonian MacBrayne, [1] runs the following car ferries which allow access to the various islands around the Kintyre peninsula.
    • Tarbert to Portavadie every hour or so (daytime) daily in summer only. Together with the Gourock to Dunoon service, this provides a shorter route from Glasgow, or makes part of various circular routes.
    • Kennacraig to Islay twice a day. Kennacraig is 6 miles South of Tarbert.

Both ports are served by the Citylink bus service to Campbeltown (see above).
