Oban, Scotland

While scrolling through my archives, I came across these photos of a Scottish coastal town.  It’s Oban, which we visited only briefly.  The town is known for its seafood, which I say from our experience is delicious.

Oban is on Scotland’s west coast, sitting on a beautiful horseshoe-shaped bay.  Oban is known as the “Gateway to the Isles” because it is a hub for ferries to the Hebridean islands like Mull. It’s a popular vacation destination during the summer months.

The city is well known for its distillery (establish 1794) and McCaig’s Tower. a colosseum-like landmark overlooking Oban Bay.  You can see McCaig’s Tower at the top of the hill in these photos.
