*************************************
"Kintyre (Ceann Tìre in Gaelic) is a peninsula in western Scotland, inthe south-west of Argyll and Bute. The region stretches approximately 30miles (48 km), from the Mull of Kintyre (immortalised in the song of thesame name by Paul McCartney) in the south, to East Loch Tarbert in thenorth. The region immediately north of the peninsula is known as Knapdale.
Geographically, the Kintyre peninsula is long and narrow, at no pointmore than 11 miles (18 km) from west coast to east coast. The centralspine of the peninsula is mostly hilly moorland. The coastal areas andhinterland, however, are rich and fertile. As such, Kintyre has long beena prized area for settlers, from the early Scots who migrated from Ulsterto western Scotland and the Vikings or Norsemen who conquered and settledthe area just before the start of the second millennium.
The principal town of the area is Campbeltown (about 9 km by road fromthe Mull), which has been a royal burgh since the mid-18th century. Thearea's economy has long relied on fishing and farming, althoughCampbeltown has a reputation as a producer of some of the world's finestsingle malt whisky including the multi-award winning 'Springbank'.
Kintyre Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary, one of the officers of arms atthe Court of the Lord Lyon is named after this peninsula."
