Bee swarm in Campbeltown? Help is a minute away.

Campbeltown is the principal town of the Kintyre peninsula, set on Campbeltown Loch at the southern end of one of Scotland's most distinctive landscapes. The town is known for its working whisky distilleries — Springbank and Glen Scotia — and the surrounding Kintyre plain carries improved dairy grassland with white clover as the dominant summer forage. The Kintyre Way walking route passes through gorse headlands and coastal heath south of the town, and the Beinn Ghuilean hill above Campbeltown provides heather moorland accessible for late-summer foraging. The Machrihanish coast to the west carries coastal heath and marram grassland.

Heather is the defining flow of Argyll — Calluna vulgaris covers the hills, glens and island moors from late July into September, offering one of the longest heather seasons in Scotland. Gorse and broom flower in two flushes — April and again in late summer — on every rocky coastal headland and glen-side. Sycamore is the principal woodland forage tree, prolific in the sheltered sea-loch valleys and estate policies from late April. Bramble is abundant on the lower ground and forest clearings from July. White clover grows on the improved coastal grassland of the Kintyre plain, the Isle of Bute and the Oban hinterland. Cross-leaved heath in the wetter blanket bogs supplements the main heather flow on the islands.
