Machrihanish (Scottish Gaelic: Machaire Shanais ) is a village in Argyll, Scotland. Machrihanish boasts a classic links golf course described by many as the defining links course in Scotland. Campbeltown Airport, formerly RAF Machrihanish is located near the village.

Coal was mined near the village. Reginald Aubrey Fessenden built a radio transmitting station with a 400 foot high mast here in 1905 to transmit Wireless Telegraphy to a similar station at Brant Rock in Massachusetts, USA. An exchange of message was passed on 1 January 1906 but the mast blew down in a gale on 5 December 1906 and was never rebuilt.
Cadets from the Air Training Corps recreated this historic trans-atlantic transmission in Easter of 2006. Edinburgh and South Scotland Wing, who were on camp at the nearby airfield, contacted the Civil Air Patrol cadets in Brant Rock on the 14th April 2006. Air Cadets website
