Campbeltown Heritage Tours to start (with photos)
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 8:52 pmIn another example of Campbeltown's push towards tourism, locals and visitors are being given the opportunity to find out about Campbeltown’s rich history thanks to a number of guided tours that will take place this summer by the Campbeltown Heritage Trail Group.
The group, made up of volunteers, was formed last year as part of the Campbeltown Town Centre Regeneration Project and aims to provide people with an interesting insight into the area’s historic past, ensuring our heritage is not lost.
This year’s tours will take place every Wednesday in July and August, departing from Campbeltown Tourist Information Centre at 1pm. Pilot tours will also be held on Saturday 9th July and Saturday 6th August at 1pm from the Tourist Information Centre.
The tours are completely free of charge and will last approximately 50 minutes.
The initiative is funded via the Campbeltown THI whose funders include the Heritage Lottery Fund, Argyll and Bute Council and Argyll and the Islands Leader.
