Campbeltown Cross Scotland Photography


An old photograph of Campbeltown Cross, Argyll, Scotland. Campbeltown Cross is located on an an attractively laid-out roundabout in the centre of Campbeltown. A tall, slender Celtic cross thought to date from the late 14th century. The stone from which the cross was made originates from the area of Loch Sween, many miles to the north, and the carving includes elaborate leaf scroll decoration although several figures were erased from the monument probably at the time of the Reformation.
