About Oban

Oban is one of the largest towns in the Scottish Highlands. It is an important ferry hub but it's also a beautiful town in its own right with great views from McCaig's Tower and Pulpit Hill. It's bustling with tourists during the summer season. The Esplanade, particularly, offers a beautiful evening or morning walk (you can see the ferries going out or coming in).
