Oban
Oban - meaning ‘the little bay’ in Scottish Gaelic - is a historic harbour town nestled on Scotland’s west coast and is known as the gateway to the Hebrides. The town is just a three hour journey by train, bus or car from Glasgow and is the starting point for many CalMac island adventures.
Dunollie Castle
Sitting on a vantage point over the entrance to Oban bay, Dunnollie Castle once guarded the town’s important harbour. The castle is the seat of clan MacDougall and its present day ruins offer a glimpse into the history of the area. It is a landmark easily spotted when sailing into Oban from the islands.
Seafood Shack
Oban is renowned for its seafood and the seafood shack at the marina is a must-visit. The shacks are situated right beside the CalMac departure lounge. Sample fresh lobster, crab, scallops and more next to the boats that brought them while keeping an eye on your ferry!
