One of our favourite places for a quick, cheap snack last time we were in Campbeltown, the Ceann Loch Diner, on Bolgam Street, looks closed and deserted, the cafe anyway, has it closed down?

Not closed down 'numberplease'. Google car must hae been on the go early morning by the looks of things.
Myself and friends were in there May last year (for the hearty breakfast :lol: ) and Davie McPherson was in the proceed of selling the place to some others.
The cement rendering on the walls would have been were Davie had the flag pole brackets fitted some time ago when the football was on(dont ask me what football?) Davie p will answer that quote :wink: .

Hope my memory is right, if not someone will correct me :) .

Was in last week and never seen it so quiet.

The Campbeltown photos, certainly on the Main Street are about 15-18 minths old, and yes taken in the AM...

I saw the Google cam in town last week, with the cam covered over, so not sure where it was heading, obviously catching up with some areas missed a year and a half ago :wink:

PS I had someone in the shop last week that thought the pics were realtime.... Sheeesh.... Some people :)

i would agree- but overall the pictures are taken at different times of the day and on different dates, so even looking a different way can mean the picture was taken at another time.

here's an example-

compared with-

Totally agree.... My car is in 2 photos taken a fair bit apart... I was just talking about the Main Street photos being pretty old ;)

Could someone direct me to Linda's Garden on the map? Can't seem to find a postcode for it.
