About Oban - Your first view of Oban is one you are unlikely to forget. From the north, you glimpse this bustling port from the top of the 'Bealach-an-Righ'. As you sweep down the hill towards the expanse of the bay, the view opens up before you and one begins to appreciate why Oban has developed into Scotland's most popular west-coast holiday town.
Shopping - Strolling along George Street, the main shopping area of the town and past the bay with beautiful views across to the Island of Kerrera and beyond, leads you down to Argyll Square with its attractive floral display and lined with even more shops and cafes. Leading off George.
Street are small lanes hiding many more independent shops well worth

Things to do - The presence of the nearby Gulf Stream and unpolluted waters make Oban a mecca for UK diving enthusiasts. From Oban, a short drive south brings you to Arduaine Gardens - run by the National Trust for Scotland - in a superb setting on the west coast. This garden is a plantsman's paradise but due to its scenic location overlooking the Sound of Jura, it is equally fascinating for a novice who doesn't know his rhododendrons from his roses!
