Oban was a gorgeous small town with loads to do! We enjoyed many beautiful walks along the waterfront, on wooded trails, and up to McCaig's Tower for the wonderful view. We enjoyed several restaurants and pubs in town. We loved everything about Oban!

We took the ferry to Isle of Mull and Iona... Isle of Mull was GORGEOUS and Iona was moving and memorable. On our return we found the seafood shack at the exit from the ferry terminal, which others raved about. Fabulous fresh seafood.
