LiveArgyll

The Friends of Campbeltown Museum
The Friends of Campbeltown Museum, a registered charity, was formed in 1991 as a pressure-group in response to a Scottish Museums Council report which found that the Museum collections were neglected and badly presented and that the Museum itself provided a low standard of service to the public. Within eight years, the Friends' main objectives had been achieved: a museums development officer for Argyll and Bute was appointed in 1994 and oversaw the conservation measures which enabled Campbeltown Museum to receive full registration status in the Museums and Galleries national scheme. In more recent years, the Friends' main role has been to assist with projects; but the group has also helped fund Museum improvements and furnishings and has been instrumental in the acquisition of local art, e.g., two Archibald MacKinnon paintings, purchased in 2018.
