Kintyre

Kintyre (Scottish Gaelic: Cinn Tìre, Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [kʲʰiɲˈtʲʰiːɾʲə]) is a peninsula in western Scotland, in the southwest of Argyll and Bute. The region stretches approximately 30 miles (48 km), from the Mull of Kintyre in the south, to East Loch Tarbert in the north. The region immediately north of Kintyre is known as Knapdale.

Kintyre is long and narrow, at no point more than 11 miles (18 km) from west coast to east coast. The east side of the Kintyre Peninsula is bounded by Kilbrannan Sound, with a number of coastal peaks such as Torr Mor. The central spine of the peninsula is mostly hilly moorland. The coastal areas and hinterland, however, are rich and fertile. Kintyre has long been a prized area for settlers, including the early Scots who migrated from Ulster to western Scotland and the Vikings or Norsemen who conquered and settled the area just before the start of the second millennium.

The principal town of the area is Campbeltown (about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) by road from the Mull), which has been a royal burgh since the mid-18th century. The area's economy has long relied on fishing and farming, although Campbeltown has a reputation as a producer of some of the world's finest single malt whisky. Campbeltown Single Malts include the multi-award winning 'Springbank'.

Kintyre Camanachd

Kintyre Camanachd is a shinty team from Campbeltown, Kintyre, Scotland. It no longer holds membership of the Camanachd Association and has not fielded a senior side, or a ladies side for several years. However, it has youth teams which compete from time to time.

History

Shinty was traditionally played, as in other Highland areas, at New Year. One game was notorious for being cancelled due to fighting and indeed a man was alleged to have committed murder at one game in the 1830s.

Kintyre was formed in 1985 and won the South Division Four Championship in 1992. The club also played a team from Islay for the Camanachd Ile Cup around the early 90s. The club has had a history of abeyance, hampered by the remoteness of the Mull of Kintyre. The Under 17 side sometimes play in the South Area League. Some older players go to Kilmory Camanachd to play at a senior level. Shinty is being kept alive in Kintyre by the ladies team although they have not enter competition since 2009.

    Dead Bury The Dead

    by: Candiria

    You suffocate all
    You're dying so await your fall
    You're begging like a pig for crumbs
    So lick the plate clean until your lips are cold and
    numb
    Off with your own head. Change your footsteps.
    Why do you choose to bury your father and sons?
    Let the dead bury the dead; your father and sons
    The dead bury the dead.
    The knife is to your own neck. Follow me.
    Taste the life. Leave all that is dead behind.
    Dead bury the dead.
    I am wretched skin in vain but I will not collapse
    My foundations will not crumble or see decay
    When the last candle burns out will you find your way?
    Will you stumble? Will you regret your path; your name?
    The dead bury the dead again, again, again.
    Bury the dead.
    The knife is to your own neck. Follow me.
    Taste the life. Leave all that is dead behind.
    Dead bury the dead.
    Are you dying from inside?
    Are you suffering?
    Progress is a choice in life.
    Face down, don't turn your back on me.
    Where's your dedication? Your fight?
    The annihilation of your pride.
    I want! I want! I need! I need! and I want!
    I want for you to open up your eyes
    Envision all that is unseen.
    You will follow all that is revealed.
    You will follow because your light is growing dim.
