Oban has become one of
the major holiday centres in the West Highlands. The town
bustles with life and the harbour is busy with supply boats
plying their way to the Islands. There is a superb level esplanade,
a whisky distillery and woollen mills. Pulpit Hill affords
wonderful views across the Firth of Lorne with some unforgettable
sunsets, and just offshore from the town lies the green island
of Kerrera which is linked to Oban by passenger ferry. |

SUNDAY From local departure points we head towards our overnight stop in the north of England. MONDAY Heading for the border we cross into Scotland before skirting the banks of Loch Lomond and, travelling through some of Scotland’s finest scenery, we make our way to Oban and the Regent Hotel. TUESDAY A day at leisure to relax and explore Oban. WEDNESDAY Our relaxing half day tour to nearby Seil Island takes us across the Atlantic Bridge to the artists colony of Easdale, where there is time to explore at leisure (8 day tours only). THURSDAY This morning we cross the Sound of Mull by ferry to the village of Craignure and take the opportunity to visit the small island of Iona, birthplace of Christianity in Scotland and burial place of fifty nine kings. FRIDAY A very scenic tour today as we take the road through the narrow Pass of Brander and wild Rannoch Moor to descend Glencoe - probably the most spectacular and infamous glen in Scotland, setting of the Massacre of 1692 - to reach the shores of Loch Linnhe and Fort William. Time for sightseeing at this popular touring centre, which lies below Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, before returning by the Appin shore of Loch Linnhe, with coastal and mountain views. SATURDAY We make our way homeward. |
