Did you know that Campbeltown’s Wee Picture House is the oldest continuously-run cinema in Scotland? The waterfront art deco building was purpose-built in 1913. It is now a community-run enterprise. Opened to the public on May 26 1913 it was the creation of architect A.V. Gardner, whose two-tier stalls and balcony design – very unusually these days – still survives, along with its proscenium arch and beautifully quirky ‘atmospheric’ decor.
