Trip up to Scotland in 2013 on my GS1200 which I have since sold. I arrived in Campbeltown in good time so decided to do this route. Not only is the road in the video poor but all the roads leading to it are single track. But it was worth it. Fantastic scenery and I managed to have good weather. Anyone else out there done it ?? If not put it on your list of to do's. I bet you cant manage it without singing the famous Paul McCartney and WINGS band song !! Hope you enjoy the video.

Driving To The Mull of Kintyre - The West Scotland Adventure - Stage 14
* Tarmac Tourism // Asphalt Adventures // Road Reviews * Stage 14 would see us driving from Skipness Castle to The Mull of Kintyre along the B8001 and B842, a distance of 46 miles.
The Isle of Arran is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and the Seventh largest out of all the Scottish Isles, it has a population of around 4,000 people and has been continually inhabited since the Neolithic Period.
The Mull of Kintyre is the most south-westerly point on the Kintyre Peninsula (formerly Cantyre) in south-west Scotland.
The term “Mull” is a regional word mainly used in South-west Scotland and refers to a headland or peninsula that is devoid of trees, it comes from the Scottish Gaelic “Maol”, meaning bald, or bare.
The Mull is home to a lighthouse which was the second ever lighthouse to be built in Scotland.
It is thought that the Mull of Kintyre was an important land bridge for early humans expanding from Europe, through Britain and on to Ireland. Later, the headland was used by the Scotti People who travelled back from Ireland and established the kingdom of Dál Riata in what is now known as Argyll.
On a clear day like today it is possible to see Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast, but despite this due it its steep cliffs there are frequent sea mists which have caused numerous air crashes in the area, some of the remains of which can apparently still be found.
The West Scotland Adventure was a 2000 mile road trip to find the best roads and scenery in West Scotland. Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Campbeltown; is a town and former royal burgh in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It lies by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Originally known as Kinlochkilkerran (an anglicization of the Gaelic, which means head of the loch by the kirk of Ciarán), it was renamed in the 17th century as Campbell's Town after Archibald Campbell (Earl of Argyle) was granted the site in 1667. Campbeltown became an important centre for shipbuilding and Scotch whisky, and a busy fishing port.
There are several listed buildings in Category A in the town and include the following. Campbeltown boasts a museum and a heritage centre. The museum has a varied collection of items from Campbeltown's past, and prehistoric items excavated from sites around Kintyre, such as axeheads, jewellery and combs. The 19th century building, by John James Burnet, also houses a library and has plaques or exhibits related to famous Kintyre people: for example, William McTaggart and William Mackinnon. Near the museum is the cinema known as the Wee Picture House, a small but distinctive Art Nouveau building of the Glasgow School dating from 1913 and believed to be the oldest surviving purpose-built cinema in Scotland. These buildings are on the waterfront, as is a 14th-century Celtic cross that also served as a mercat cross.
St Kieran (Ciarán of Clonmacnoise) lived in this area before the town existed. A cave named after him can be visited at low tide, as can the cave on nearby Davaar Island where pilgrims and tourists go to see a 19th-century crucifixion painting. Campbeltown also hosts the annual Mull Of Kintyre Music Festival, which has seen acts ranging from up-and-coming local bands to well-established groups such as Deacon Blue, The Stranglers and Idlewild perform.
A recent addition has been the Kintyre Songwriters Festival, a fairly low key annual gathering aimed at promoting the wealth and variety of original music across the area. The festival is held during the last weekend of May and is open to anyone interested in performing. On Friday 16 June 2006, First Minister Jack McConnell flew to Campbeltown to officially open Campbeltown's new 'Aqualibrium' Centre. Aqualibrium, designed by PagePark Architects, replaced the old Campbeltown swimming pool, which closed 7 years ago due to safety concerns; the centre houses Campbeltown's library (with the old building being the museum only), swimming pool, gym, conference centre and 'Mussel Ebb' Cafe. The Kintyre Camanachd are a local shinty team that belongs to the Camanachd Association.
Campbeltown Airport is near the town, and has a scheduled service to/from Glasgow International Airport on weekdays and some summer Sundays. The town is the westernmost town in the island of Great Britain (if the port of Mallaig is not counted as a town). It has the population of a large village, but lays claim to its town status based on its port and its central close grid of streets. Its position near the end of a long peninsula makes for a time-consuming road journey, and to some extent the area relies on sea and air transport, like the Inner Hebrides. However it is linked to the rest of Scotland by the A83 (to Tarbet) and A82 (from Tarbet to Glasgow). Bus service is provided by West Coast Motors.
Campbeltown was linked to Machrihanish by a canal (1794-mid-1880s) that was superseded by the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway, which closed in 1932. The railway, which was originally built to serve the Machrihanish Coalfield, ran from Campbeltown railway station to Machrihanish railway station.

Davaar Island East Coast Of Kintyre Argyll and Bute Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of Davaar Island, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Dà Bhàrr, is located at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch off the east coast of Kintyre, in Argyll and Bute. It is a tidal island, linked to the mainland by a natural shingle causeway called the Dhorlin near Campbeltown at low tide. The crossing can be made in around 40 minutes. Davaar was known as the island of Sanct Barre between the years 1449 to 1508. The island is also known for its seven caves, one of which contains a life size cave painting depicting the crucifixion, painted in 1887 by local artist Archibald MacKinnon after he had a vision in a dream suggesting him to do so. Davaar Island is one of 43 tidal islands that can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain and one of 17 that can be walked to from the Scottish mainland. In 1854, a Lighthouse was built on the north of the island by the lighthouse engineers David and Thomas Stevenson. The lighthouse was automated in 1983, and today, Davaar is inhabited by caretakers, sheep, goats and mink.
