Oban

Visit the largest town in Argyll, which has the distinction of being both “The Gateway to the Isles” and “The Seafood Capital of Scotland”.

Oban, the largest town in Argyll, has the distinction of being both “The Gateway to the Isles” and “The Seafood Capital of Scotland”. True enough, this small resort town boasts a number of award-winning cafes and restaurants, backed by gorgeous scenery of Oban Bay and the surrounding mountains. Its waterfront location also makes it well suited for water sports such as scuba diving and sailing.

In between seafood meals, you might want to check out the picture-perfect McCaig’s Tower—also a great viewpoint from top—and wash down that fish taste with a wee dram of whisky from the Oban Distillery.
