Welcome to Oban
The towering mountains of the lands of Lorn sweep down to the coast at Oban - unofficial capital of the West Highlands and 'Gateway to the Isles'. A short ferry ride away lies the magnificent holiday Island of Mull and beyond, remote Hebridean Island gems, precious stone set in a silver sea. |

Winding streets overlooking a picturesque bay, busy with the movement of fishing boats, yachts and ferries. For many Oban is the perfect West Highland retreat, a place to relax and unwind yet with plenty to see, do and discover. |

Near at hand are the small, inner islands of Kerrera, Lismore, Seil, Shuna and Luing - romantic names, romantic places. Mull - its main town of Tobermory a brightly painted picture postcard - is much larger and offers a fine choice of attractions, activities and wildlife, not to mention spectacular bays and seascapes. Saintly Iona and musical Staffa lie offshore. |
