Machrihanish
Machrihanish is located on the western side of the
Kintyre peninsula in Argyll, to the west of
Campbeltown. The village stands at the southern end of Machrihanish Bay,
which is the longest
continuous stretch of sand in Argyll; however, this is a
dangerous area for swimming.
Machrihanish itself was once a coal mining and salt producing area; the
miners’ cottages can still be seen at Drumlemble. Machrihanish was connected to
Campbeltown by a narrow-guage railway from 1903-36.
The area is now famous for its golf course, which stands between the beach
and Campbeltown airport.
