The Kintyre Forum

Another excellent example of the work being carried out by the Campbeltown Townscape Heritage Initiative was recently comleted at 60 Main Street, Campbeltown.

Campbeltown THI and Argyll and Bute Council’s Private Sector Housing Grant Section worked in partnership with the property owners (five different owners) to completely refurbish this ‘B’ listed tenement. The work was all carried out by local contractors (McKinven & Colville) and included; total re-roofing using most of the original slates, render repairs, redecoration of entire front elevation, refurbishment of sash and case windows, replacement rainwater goods, replacement ground floor doors and windows.

Well done everyone involved - excellent work!

Finishing touches

As many of us oldies will remember it. McConnachie's bus office to the left of the close,and waiting room to the right.


Good to see these buildings smartened up.

Looks fantastic.

The lovely thing is that so many developments, which are not necessarily significant in themselves, are coming together to give the town a lift.

The town centre has not looked so good for 20-odd years... and that's before the REALLY significant project opens next year.

Gosh, the old bus office, my Auntie Mary worked there as a lassie.
