KINTYRE Magazine’s latest issue, number 79, includes a tale about how Campbeltown residents took on a Royal Navy press gang in February 1795.
The 34-page journal of Kintyre’s Antiquarian and Natural History Society, edited by former Courier reporter Angus Martin, is packed with historical tales old and new shedding light on the burgh’s former inhabitants.
The biannual publication’s 300 subscribers are spread across Britain and the world but Mr Martin says few contributions are submitted and the content depends on whom he is able to press gang to write a piece.
