Oban

Gateway to Scotland

Oban is one of those cities that tourists eventually come across, and also immediately fall for. The bustling harbour serves the various islands off the west coast, acting as a gateway to Scotland. Despite having all of the features of a normal west of Scotland town, it still retains a certain charm – from the sea front chippy, the ice cream shops, the cries of the gulls as the trawlers return to port, and the daily excursions. It’s a city that I am glad to say that I have become very familiar with. I have spent many a day wistfully staring out beyond the maritime lanes to the atmospheric horizon that is the Scottish Western Isles.
