Diskussion:Kintyre (Halbinsel)
Geographically, the Kintyre peninsula is long and narrow (at no point more than 11 miles from west coast to east coast). The central spine of the peninsula is mostly hilly moorland. The coastal areas and hinterland, however, are rich and fertile. As such, Kintyre has long been a prized area for settlers, from the early Scots who migrated from Ulster to western Scotland and the Vikings or Norsemen who conquered and settled the area just prior to the start of the second millennium.
The principal town of the area is Campbeltown (approx. 20 miles by road from the Mull), which has been a royal burgh since the mid-18th century.
The area has long relied on fishing and farming, although Campbeltown has a reputation as a producer of some of the world's finest single malt whisky including the multi award winning "Springbank".
Was heißt denn eigentlich "Cinn Tire"? Auf die Schnelle finde ich dazu nichts. --HaraldB (Diskussion) 15:21, 7. Apr. 2022 (CEST)
