This is an exciting festival with lots of action, outdoor events, kids stuff, parades, beer tent as well as top notch concerts and ceilidhs & workshops.
The Festival takes place in Campbeltown, the largest town in the peninsula of Kintyre and third largest in Argyll. It lies some 140 miles by road from the nearest large town, Glasgow, but only 14 miles across the Irish Sea from Northern Ireland. With a population of around 5,500 people it is often aptly described as the most southerly point of the Highlands, indeed it is more southerly than Berwick in England! You can get to this beautiful part of the world by bus, plane, or car - the nearest train station is almost 100 miles away in Oban! There are two flights per day to and from Glasgow operated by British Airways which take approximately 25 minutes flight time.
