Drumlemble is a small village on the Kintyre peninsula in Argyllshire, about four miles west of Kintyre's only town, Campbeltown.[1] on the B843.

There used to be a station here, Drumlemble Halt, on the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway, opening in 1906 and closing in 1932.[1]

The village consists of the main settlement of Drumlemble and the two outlying settlements of Easter and Wester Drumlemble. The local school, Drumlemble Primary School, caters for the people of Drumlemble, Machrihanish and other settlements in the southern part of the Laggan plain.
