Many of you may have seen the article in the Campbeltown Courier this week about what we’re trying to do in the town.
We thought we would take a moment to properly introduce Diamond Vault Community Benefit Society & Kintyre Community Regeneration CIC and explain what it’s all about.
Like many of you, We walk through Longrow and the town centre every day and see the empty buildings that have been sitting unused for years. Places that once had businesses, life and people coming through the doors.
Diamond Vault CBS & Kintyre Community Regeneration CIC has been set up to change that.
Our aim is simple. We want to build on the success of previous projects like CARS, Campbeltown Town Hall and the Picture House. Where possible, we want to bring neglected, ownerless or long-term vacant buildings into community ownership, refurbish them, and bring them back into use for local businesses, organisations and the wider community.
We’re already working closely with Argyll & Bute Council, Campbeltown Community Council, Scottish Land fund, community shares Scotland and Highlands and Islands Enterprise as well as other local partners, and there are some exciting projects being explored just now.
This isn’t about one person or one group. It’s about the community having a real stake in the future of our town.

Membership helps us show strong community support as we move forward with funding applications and future projects, and it gives you, the community, a voice in what happens next.
Thanks to everyone who has already shown support. There’s a lot of work ahead, but the goal is simple. Bring life back into the buildings that should be part of Campbeltown’s future.
