This is a few photos from inside McCaig's Tower and photos taken from it and one from the pier looking up at it.

We used to go for day visits then since 2017 we've went for a week every july and last year got married in Oban .

Was booked to go this July but that won't be happening due to everything that's going on just now.

Hope you like the photos 😊

Always try to fit a day trip to Oban in when visiting my partner's family in Killin, along with a stop at Ganavan sands, so Trudie the dog can have a tear around and some quality sniffing!

Hi, photos are beautiful, brought back memories , we went with our daughter when she was 18 months with friends to a cottage there, that’s 44 years ago, crikey time flies. It makes me smile because it rained everyday and my Colin and his mate went fishing everyday even though they had never done this before. We waited with frying pan ready EVERYDAY but nothing🤣😂🤣 thanks for bringing back these memories x

Never been but their scotch is the smoothest iv tasted 🙂

I was a traveller for a lot of my adult life (until the assault that caused my brain injury) & lived at Raspberry Layby near Duror at one time in 90s. My middle daughter was born in Oban. We loved the wilder parts of that edge of Scotland too; up toward Mallaig & beyond. Some friends had permission to repopulate an abandoned village on a peninsula with no roads on it ! Wish I'd stayed up there instead of coming back to Yorkshire !

Yes I know, we were due to go back to Oban in July as I said but before that we may have had a few day trips to Fort William etc

Love your photos Buddy34! I don't know Oban at all, but your photos have certainly piqued my interest to learn more! And maybe even visit.
