The Kintyre Forum

Good to hear the Tom Morton Show on BBC Radio Scotland going out live from Campbeltown this afternoon. The van was set up on Hall Street overlooking the harbour (Tom kept referring to it as 'The Esplanade'). Interviews with Archie McMillan of The Old Smoke House fame and with a representative of Springbank, so it gave a good plug for local produce as well as making the town sound like a good place to be. Well done Tom and the BBC.

I was there Willie, didn't see you right enough. But I did take loads of photos and here are a few.


Archie Bob doing his excellent presentation.

Another Carradale man meeting Tom


Iain J (Johnstone) of this forum being interviewd in his capacity as music festival organiser with 2 local girls with a local radio connection! in the foreground



Good one of Iain with the loch and the wood boat in the back ground...nearly got the burned out shipyard hoose as well



Amanda Kelly did well but did not quite win the All Aboard The Puffer competition........her friends and,, ehhhh I! gave the Perth winner a nice, friendly, good natured, Campbeltown boo

I think Campbeltown came across pretty well. Not that many folk there but enough.

I have a few more photos and will stick them on later if anyone is interested.
