Glenbarr Community Development Association
Glenbarr Village
A small West Kintyre community surrounded by coast, glen, farmland and woodland.
Our place
Rooted in West Kintyre.
Glenbarr sits on the west side of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute. The River Barr, mature woodland, working land and the nearby coast shape both the village and the opportunities around it.
Local services
The village and surrounding area are supported by local businesses, a primary school, village hall, transport links and services in nearby Campbeltown and Tarbert.
Landscape
Woodland, the glen and the Atlantic coast offer distinctive natural assets that GCDA aims to care for and make responsibly accessible.
