The 7 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Oban, Scotland

April 6, 2022 Merry Kessler

A jumping-off point for ferries to the Hebridean Islands, the port town of Oban offers a picturesque bayside setting. It's worth catching a later boat to take in the town's stately Victorian architecture, bounty of seafood restaurants, and good pubs.

McCaig's Tower

Reviewed By Torkm68 - Pitmedden, United Kingdom

A quick hike up to the tower rewards you with expansive views over the town and the nearest islands , very atmospheric at night when its all lit up ,this is an iconic structure thats now synanomous with Oban even though it was never finished. Free to enter and has a nice viewing platform with very informative board that tells you what hills, islands and villages you can see.

Great circular walk and the beach under the castle was a great spot for a picnic lunch. Allow 3-4 hours for the trip. Castle in really good condition and wonderful views.

Reviewed By 2008Sarah - Falkirk District, United Kingdom

Can't thank Gavin enough for his excellent customer service, I visited the shop a few years ago after my mother purchased products from Purdies of Argyll and now I use the online shop to purchase gifts for her, the products are amazing and your spoilt for choice when you go into the shop, well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed. If your looking for a gift for yourself or someone else the product and the packaging will certainly impress.
