With a rich maritime past dating back centuries, Campbeltown was once a bustling herring port, playing a significant role in Scotland's fishing boom. Its heritage is deeply intertwined with the development of the Scottish seafood industry, contributing to both local and national economies.
The port primarily handles landings of langoustine (Nephrops norvegicus), scallops, and whitefish such as haddock and cod, reflecting the diverse catches from the surrounding waters.
Campbeltown functions as a key landing and processing site for high-value shellfish, with local businesses involved in grading, packing, and direct sales. Its produce is supplied to both domestic UK markets and international export channels.
