Local Area

“One of Bonny Scotland’s bonniest areas must surely be the wild and romantic west coast. And the picturesque port of Oban is the jewel in its crown.”

Oban has always been known as the traveller’s rest. As a small town with a resident population of 8,500 this unofficial capital of the West Highlands often swells with large numbers of visitors touring the Highlands of Scotland. Oban is renowned for its glorious gardens, its fabulous views, the ocean promenade, islands all around, ancient monuments and castles, and outdoor activities such as diving, hiking, fishing, bird-watching – even whale spotting. Take a day tour, do some island hopping or explore the local sightseeing attractions.
