In fact, some remain unaware that Campbeltown is one of the five Scotland whisky regions, albeit the smallest. In the 19th century, Campbeltown was the whisky capital of the world. The sky was the limit and the idea of a Scotch whisky industry without Campbeltown at its forefront was unthinkable. Over 30 whisky distilleries chose to open in this small town. However, only three distilleries remain open today, these include Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle (bottled as Kilkerran). Join me as I spend the next few days exploring the Campbeltown distilleries and learn about what happened to this town that once lived and breathed whisky. 🍿 WATCH NEXT ISLAY WHISKY ISLAND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9IQXLRrujo&t=16s SPEYSIDE WHISKY COUNTRY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9IQXLRrujo&t=17s JAPANESE NIKKA WHISKY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewdWuohMps0&t=106s KINTYRE PENINSULA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KqJpGjkliQ&t=680s SHETLAND ISLANDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92eIJSKrtWA&t=77s SCOTLAND'S WILD ISLAND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS9YI2M0hSU&t=535s EXTRA CONTENT ON PATREON: 🎬 Get access to exclusive uncut and bonus videos, behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks into future projects - https://www.patreon.com/ruthaisling 🚌 My Scotland Group Trips: https://ruthaisling.com/group-trips/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 My Scotland Google Map: https://geni.us/L7sek2P 💌 Free Scotland Travel Guide: https://ruthaisling.com MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/ruthaisling 🎥 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/ruthaisling 📱 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@ruth.aisling 🌍 WEBSITE - https://ruthaisling.com MY FAVOURITE TOOLS & GEAR: 🚽 Trelino - The best van toilet (Use code RUTHAISLING for a discount or gift): https://geni.us/lC0UmdH 🔋 Bluetti - My favourite van portable batteries (Use code BLUETTIRA for 5% discount): https://geni.us/ewxrm1v 🎵 Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos: https://geni.us/a1Qq WHO AM I? If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that! P.S.
