4. Dunollie Castle sits on a rocky outcrop just north of Oban, the ancestral stronghold of Clan MacDougall, one of Scotland's oldest surviving clans, with a presence on this site stretching back over a thousand years to an early medieval fort. You'll pass by the ruined 15th-century keep and its grounds, taking in sweeping views over Oban Bay toward the Isle of Mull and the Sound of Kerrera, along a path once used by clan chiefs travelling between the castle and the town below. Please note that entry to the castle grounds and adjoining museum is not included in this tour and requires a separate admission fee.

5. You'll pass through Dunollie Wood, a rare pocket of temperate rainforest clinging to the hillside beside Dunollie Castle. Locals call it Witches Wood — the constant coastal winds off Oban Bay have twisted its oak and hazel trees into gnarled, hunched shapes that look almost human, said to resemble witches reaching out from the undergrowth. Moss, ferns and lichen thrive in the damp, mild climate, giving the wood an eerie, otherworldly feel even in daylight, whatever the season. The path is part of the Dunollie Woodland Trail and is freely accessible, with no separate admission required.

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
