Oban

We reached Oban, a resort town within Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland.


Oban has a population of about 8,100 inhabitants.
The town is an important ferry port for the connection to the Hebrides.
A modern town which grew up around the Oban Distillery which was founded as early as in 1794.
Up on the hill there is the McCaigs Tower a prominent local landmark.




Outside of the town stands Dunollie Castle.
The weather again was fantastic with temperatures up to 18 degrees.
Two excursions were offered: "Majestic Scotland" and "Seil Island and Easdale".
