Campbeltown on the wireless today

by **WC1** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 4:30 pm

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 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.
