Oban

(July 2016)

Oban is a town in the Western Highlands of Scotland in the Argyll and Bute council area. The bay makes a perfect horseshoe shape and is sheltered from the open sea by the island of Kerrera. The town itself grew around the Oban Distillery and is a popular tourist sight in Scotland since it is easily accessed by rail.
