| Oban: Festivals, Highland Games and many modern visitor attractions provide plenty of activity and entertainment in Oban in glorious settings. It also has fantastic restaurants, Café’s and pubs to eat out in, so there will always to something to enjoy. Oban is justifiably known as the Gateway to the Isles. The town's south pier is the embarkation point for car ferries to Mull, Coll, Tiree, Barra, South Uist, Colonsay, Lismore and Islay. From these islands you can travel further afield to Iona, Staffa and to many of the smaller less well-known isles, and it doesn't stop there. A short distance from the south pier along the Gallanach Road is the slipway for the Kerrera ferry, and a pleasant drive south allows you to take your car, or bike, over the Atlantic by bridge to the Island of Seil. |
