Campbeltown Loch is a bay on the southeast coast of the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland . At her head lies the town of Campbeltown , from which her name is derived; in the middle of the driveway is the uninhabited tidal island Davaar . Campbeltown Loch opens east to Kilbrannan Sound , a tributary of the Firth of Clyde . The bay extends about three kilometers into the country and has a maximum width of about 1.5 km. Campbeltown Loch is subject to the tides. At low tide Davaar can be reached on foot via "The Doirlinn", a gravel strip. The Mull of Kintyre begins south of Campbeltown Loch .
