About Oban
Oban is a harbour town on Scotland's west coast, the gateway to the Hebrides, with a hilltop folly, a whisky distillery and fresh seafood.
Oban curves around a sheltered bay on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, protected by the island of Kerrera, and is the main ferry port for the Inner and Outer Hebrides. McCaig's Tower, a circular granite folly that looks like a Roman Colosseum, stands on the hill above the town, begun in 1897 and never finished, and the Oban Distillery, founded in 1794, sits behind the harbour front.
Top-ranked sights in Oban: Glencoe (Glen Coe), Kilchurn Castle, Inveraray Castle.
