Oban

Oban is an ideal place from which to enjoy tours into the majestic highland landscape - a landscape steeped in history - whether your inclination is for hill-walking or for sampling the local single malt scotch whisky.

A short ferry trip from Oban lies one of Scotland's largest islands, the Isle of Mull. Stepping off the ferry at Craignure, those with a fascination for history can enjoy ancient Duart Castle - once home to the Chief of the Clan MacLean and boasting spectacular views from its battlements - or Torosay Castle, final destination of Scotland’s first island passenger railway.
