Travelling The Scotland Tourists Don't Go

I love exploring lesser discovered places and today I’ll be travelling the Scotland tourists don’t go. As most visitors to Scotland flock to the Highlands or The Isle of Skye, the Kintyre Peninsula located on Scotland’s west coast is a beautiful and much quieter alternative.
Campbeltown in Kintyre, Scotland was once home to the whisky capital of the world and in this Scotland vlog I’ll be taking you on a road trip around the stunning The Kintyre Peninsula. I only found about the Kintyre 66 driving route after my trip, which I totally recommend if you do plan a visit.
Some other highlights of my time on the Kintyre Peninsula, include a visit to Tarbert, the Skippness Seafood Cabin and the Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse. You'll probably recognise the Mull of Kintyre from that classic Paul McCartney song.
Stay tuned for my next video where I’ll be visiting the community-owned Isle of Gigha - a one-of-a-kind spot in Argyll and Bute.

    Thanks Ruth; i went recently in early May in great weather after your recommendations. Gobsmacking and underrated part of Scotland for sure..... lets not make it too popular tho lol 😀. The windy road up to the light house is very challenging as you say especially when the early evening sun is low and nearly blinding you like when i drove there.... but so lucky there was no on coming traffic at the time. The drive on the smaller road up to and beyond Carradale overlooking Arran is stunning, but again quite winding.

    Fun fact - there are 13 places called “Tarbet” (or various spellings of that name) in Scotland and all of them are at a low lying isthmus between two bodies of water. Because the name derives from the Gaelic words for “carry across” - so “carry (the boat) across (here)”.

    @@ruthaisling During the period when the northern and western islands were ruled by the Norwegians they claimed the southern portion of Kintyre, as they could move a boat across the isthmus. So obviously it was an island not part of the mainland! It is a long drive down to Southend. Campbeltown Airport was RAF Machrihanish.

    Loved your wee story regarding the lighthouse, I had a similar experience when in the middle of nowhere I discovered Todhead Point Lighthouse on the East Coast (half hours' drive north of Gourdon). Sadly, it was being dismantled, but the two workers from the Lighthouse Service very kindly let me have a (free rein) look around. The Scottish lighthouse and their outbuildings are so special and the attention to detail is amazing. Thanks, Ruth, for showing us yet another great part of Scotland.

    Well done Ruth, you found the flavour of the Kintyre and Campbeltown. I grew up there, and where you stopped on the MOK Lighthouse Road with the views of Sanda, Sheep Island, Ailsa Craig, Ayrshire and Ireland, is where I where I used to stop with my elderly father for a cup of tea on my visits home. He LOVED that spot. Thanks for a great piece on the area.

    Thanks for sharing this film. It brought back many memories for me as I lived and worked on the peninsula and left 20 years ago moving on to the Western Isles. I managed a Bank in Campbeltown and we had a Bank van which visited a few of the little villages surrounding Campbeltown offering banking services for locals so I know the area well. When I moved there my new neighbour described the area as the biggest cul-de-sac in Scotland I have just watched your film on Jura as well and sadly never made it over to Islay or Jura but I did visit Davaar and Arran where my Dads family originate from. I look forward to future content as I often described my Banking career as a world tour of Scotland so I hope you cover or have covered some more of the places I worked.

    I started my career in Aboyne Aberdeenshire on the 6th July 1981 then moved to Aberdeen & had a week of releif in Shetland then Glasgow as an IT Trainer then back to Aberdeen then Ellon and back to Aberdeen where I became a interview/seller in Cults & Banchory then Managers Assistant then Clydebank in that role then Manager in Campbeltown then Stornoway and back to Glasgow as a Business Manager then received a redundancy package in 2012 due to ill health. I was given some amazing opportunities due to the role I had the highlight being given a flight on The Stornoway Coastguard Helicopter and being roped out at !00 feet rather than landing and invites to fish & shoot in some amazing locations including Amhuinnsuidhe Castle on The Isle of Harris famed for it's Salmon & Sea Trout fishing and stunning location. .@@ruthaisling

We'll be back in Scotland in a couple of weeks and it will be a salmon and shellfish-filled holiday. :) Call me a nerd but I enjoyed hearing about the shop prices and laundry costs. We always check out the grocery stores when we travel (we usually AirBNB it so do some food shopping) to see the brands and the prices. We've been married 18 years and our weekly grocery bill has doubled. Inflation is everywhere.

You can hike to the abandoned village and the beaches look like the Caribbean. I happened to be there on a warm weekend with people sunbathing on the beach! I'm going to be back in Arran soon with the intention of making a video this time! How do you cut out the wind noise? This is something I haven't managed to do!
