There are two primary schools as well as secondary education at Campbeltown Grammar. The University of the Highlands and Islands can be accessed locally via Argyll College.
Campbeltown is popular with tourists and has a variety of hotels and restaurants. The town has pontoons, sheltered anchorages and a small Sailing Club with moorings.

Productive sea fishing from shore and boat is available locally and there are trout and salmon opportunities by permit in other surrounding rivers and hill lochs.
The countryside is a delight in which to walk or cycle and there is no shortage of scenic routes and places of archaeological and historical interest to visit.
The islands of Davaar and Gigha are nearby and are steeped in history, with stunning scenery and landscapes harbouring an abundance of wildlife.
