Kintyre Smokehouse

Kintyre Smokehouse operates from the Old Smokehouse on the Roading in Campbeltown, a former kipper house that Archie Macmillan, a onetime trawler fisherman, took on when it stood semi-derelict and rebuilt into a working smokery. Fish and shellfish are smoked using recipes drawn from local tradition, without additives or added colouring, and offcuts are kept to a minimum as a matter of house policy. Archie's wife Jane runs a separate kitchen producing pâtés and other prepared foods alongside the smoked salmon, kippers and cheese. The business also packs fresh scallops and other shellfish for export to buyers in the EU and South Africa. The smokehouse holds SALSA food safety accreditation, first awarded in 2010, and continues to sell direct from the Campbeltown site and by mail order.
