The Campbeltown Heritage Centre approaches its subject matter in a number of different ways.

Throughout the centre there are display stands carrying historical photographs and illustrations, together with explanatory texts. In this way it sets out to explore and explain the key themes that have influenced the area: farming, fishing, distilling, mining, and the military. Some of these themes are also addressed by the the centre's best features, its range of superbly made and very large models. It is possible to spend a long time simply drinking in the amazing detail of the model of Campbeltown Harbour in the early 1900s which you encounter near the finish of your tour, complete with elements of the little known Campbeltown & Machrihanish Railway.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Campbeltown Heritage Centre, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
