This steeple keeps cropping up in so many photos of Campbeltown I thought I would post a close up I zoomed in tonight!

Any history out there...

Thep, what is that structure that is half way up on the right side of the pic?

Bobbie, that is the roof of the actual church, it has an ornamental indented ceiling which has given cause for the design of the roof.

Petewick, I may be wrong, but I think she means the building up in the foothills off in the distance to the right....above the pic of the church. It does look interesting. I was wondering about that myself.

Is it a building or rocks maybe.......sure someone will know or find out !

If you zoom in it looks like someone has started Campbeltown's own Mt Rushmore the rock on the right looks like a face !!! I wonder who it was going to be

Oh, crawling up there will do an auld man good! to breathe in the fresh air, get that old heart pumping! I would go up there myself if I were there. You know, I never realized there were so many trees back up there.
