The Kintyre Agricultural Show: still affectionately known as the June Show, despite being in August. It’s proof that no matter how many years pass, nobody in Kintyre is changing the name. We’ll probably still be calling it the June Show when it’s held in September. See you all there for the pig racing, pipe band, sheep shearing, and the annual competition of who can have the longest conversation blocking the main walkway! 🚜🐖

At this rate we’ll be calling it the Christmas Show by 2040. See you all there! 🚜🐑🍺

Biggest bank robbery in Campbeltown history… they turned up with a crane, loaded the safe onto a lorry in full view of everyone, and not a single person batted an eyelid.
One local was overheard saying “Aye, they’ll know what they’re doing.”

Remember when the White Hart was known for welcoming visitors, not dropping bits of itself on the locals?

Now it’s up for sale, here’s hoping someone gives this iconic Campbeltown building the love (and scaffolding) it deserves and brings back a bit of its former glory. It would be great to see this old gem shining again.

We’d all quite like to admire it again instead of wondering what might fall off next! 🤞

The Great Campbeltown Ferry Terminal Project

Years of planning, mountains of earth moved, cranes swinging, diggers digging, and enough concrete poured to build a small country—all for a ferry terminal that achieved the remarkable feat of being used exactly once.

The ferry proudly sailed to Ireland, proving the terminal actually worked, before apparently deciding that was enough adventure for one lifetime.

Since then, the annual tradition has continued: hopeful announcements, optimistic timetables, and then the much-loved local event known as “The Cancellation of the Ardrossan Service.”

Engineers built it. Contractors finished it. The ferry tried it. Ireland saw it once.

And every year since, the Ardrossan service has remained one of Scotland’s most reliable cancellations.

As the work on the Victoria Hall begins, we have been around the community to get feedback, here are a few of your responses-

“Victoria Hall heard everyone saying it needed exterior work and replied, ‘I was going for rustic charm.’”

“Victoria Hall is proof that if enough people complain for long enough, even a brick building will book a makeover.”

“The old girl survived time, weather, and generations of public criticism. A facelift should be the easy part.”

“Victoria Hall has spent years looking like it lost a fight with every winter since 1900. The renovation team is here to negotiate a rematch.”

“After years of being described as ‘full of character,’ Victoria Hall is finally getting the kind of character development that involves scaffolding.”

“Victoria Hall finally got tired of being called ‘historic character’ when people really meant ‘needs a good scrub.’”

“Good news: Victoria Hall is finally getting a facelift. Bad news: now the rest of town has to step up its appearance game.”

Breaking News from the Black Sheep Pub

Structural engineers are still trying to determine exactly what happened at the Black Sheep Pub, but eyewitnesses insist the damage occurred moments after Scotland’s dramatic 1–0 victory over Haiti.

Guests reported feeling a strange tremor throughout the building as the final whistle blew.

“At first I thought it was an earthquake,” said one customer. “Then I realised it was just 200 Scots celebrating at the same time.”

According to witnesses, the cheering started in the bar, travelled through the walls, up the staircase, and eventually introduced the roof to several floors that it had never met before.

The pub’s management released a statement saying:

“The Black Sheep Pub would like to reassure everyone that the building was in perfect condition before Scotland scored. The celebrations that followed were apparently stronger than modern engineering had anticipated.”

No injuries were reported, although several guests claimed their pint moved three feet across the table when the referee blew for full time.

Experts have since classified the incident as a rare seismic event measuring 7.8 on the Tartan Scale. 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Historic photo of Campbeltown: before smartphones, before Google, and apparently before anyone admitted they had no idea where the whelks were.

Here we see generations of Campbeltonians conducting the town’s oldest scientific expedition — wandering into the harbour at low tide convinced that this time the whelks would be easy to find. Judging by the number of people involved, either the whelks were exceptionally well hidden, or someone had wildly exaggerated the size of the last catch. 😄
