A little bit closer to home in this post, we look towards the West Coast of Scotland, to the Fishing Village of Oban
A popular tourist attraction for a number of reasons, from Oban Whiskey to McCaig's Tower on the hill
To the renowned Skipinnish Ceilidh house along the promenade. Also of note, a second Ceilidh house is based in Fort William, and if you are into Folk Music then having a listen to the band of the same name (it is related is well worth it!)
Oban also has what could be considered as fairly modern buildings within Scotland 🤣 Such as this church here from 1880.
As a seaport it also acts as a main ferry route to the Scottish Islands. Where you can access the isles of Barra and Uist
These are all serviced by ferries provided by Caledonian MacBrayne who run services all along the West Coast of Scotland.
As mentioned before, there is something referred to as McCaig's Tower and this provides spectacular views over the town and the sea.
from the small islands surrounding Oban such as the Isle of Kerrera
To that over the Seaport and Railway station
And finally that towards the Diocese of Argyll & The Isles.
It is a place worth visiting if you are touring the coastal route of Scotland
You didn't mention the seafood shack by the harbour, or is it only silly tourists like us go and locals stay away 🙂 We actually did a detour to Oban for that, it was one of the best seafood meal we had!!
Thanks for showing me around Oban as I didn't go anywhere else apart from the car park to the seafood shack.
Wait a mo! there is a seafood shack?!? I didn't know 🤣 But I am guessing I have it in the shot though!
While I was there it was the tower, distillery and chippy for me, although one day, Skippinish!
It was yum!!!
Wow! that is a seriously seafood platter right there!

Thank you @LivingUKTaiwan and @pinmapple, here is an imaginary toast of Oban Whiskey!
That town makes a good whisky
Oh, it does, I'm still recovering from the taste from the cask while doing the tour!
But at least I managed to pick up a lovely glass
Nice, that's a treasure
