Argyll’s biggest open-air live music event has launched a brand new marketing campaign to raise the profile of itself and Oban with the support of VisitScotland.

STGA certified guides are now offering walking tours of beautiful and historic Oban.

Oban’s first group of certified tour guides have completed training for a Yellow Badge from Scottish Tourist Guides Association and are looking forward to serving as ambassadors for the town.

The Highlands and Islands Music and Dance Festival will have the whole town singing and dancing May 4-6 as performers from all over Scotland descend on Oban.

A new co-operative project is leading the way to enhance Oban's reputation as one of Scotland's leading education destinations.

Cyclists and climbers will be hitting Oban's playground with world-record-setting cyclist, broadcaster and sport ambassador Mark Beaumont for a brilliant weekend of adventure and fun. All proceeds to charity.

Argyll's largest live music event takes place next June in Oban. Early Bird tickets go on sale next week so don't miss out.
