Kildonald Bay and Dippen Bay are two further bays that may be found on the Kintyre Peninsula’s eastern side.

Paul had purchased High Park Farm in Campbeltown, close to Argyll’s Mull of Kintyre, in 1968, persuaded by his then-girlfriend Jane Asher, to use as a tax haven and a refuge from Beatlemania. The couple’s first child, Mary, as well as Heather, Linda’s daughter, would live on the farm, which was, to put it mildly, primitive. Stella arrived in 1971 and is now a well-known fashion designer.

High Park Farm: Paul McCartney farm Scotland:

Paul McCartney’s financial advisors suggested he invest in property. In April 1965, he bought a house in Cavendish Avenue, London. After renovation, he moved into it in June 1966.

On this day, he acquired High Park Farm, near Campbelltown, in the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland. The three-bedroom farmhouse had an asking price of £35,000, and came with 183 acres of land. High Park Farm was previously owned by Mr. Charles Noel Beattie, a Q.C. in London, and leased to Mr. and Mrs. Brown, local farmers who had lived there for 19 years.

Paul’s girlfriend, the actress Jane Asher, helped him select High Park from a list of properties for sale, and visited it with him. The farm in a largely dilapidated state. Renovations didn’t begin until Paul married Linda Eastman in 1969.

In January 1970, Paul bought the nearby Low Park Farm to discourage sightseers from visiting the area. Nevertheless, he acquired an additional 400 acres of land nearby in January 1971.
