Oban Distillery is a whisky distillery located in Oban, Scotland that produces Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The distillery is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland and has been producing whisky for more than 200 years. The Distillery offers tours and tastings to visitors who are interested in learning about whisky production.
A fantastic tour which is extremely good value for money compared with other distillery tours I have been on in the past. The tour guide puts so much enthusiasm and humour into what is a very informative tour.
The distillery is one of the strangest placed I have seen, right in the centre of the town but there is still plenty of work going on here that is worth seeing, espy if you’re a fan of the stuff yourself but even if you’re not.

A great tour and tasting. Staff were very knowledgeable and took time to answer any questions.
It was great to understand the process to make whisky, see the equipment used and also enjoy some tastings on the way round.

We did the distillery tour and had such a good time! I can't remember the name of the gentleman that guided the tour, but he was very friendly and knowledgeable and passionate. The tour was very Informative and we got to taste 3 delicious whiskeys.

This tour was more fun than expected. Our guide, Ian, was a hoot. He had the right combination of fun and knowledge. He made it very entertaining as we learned about how Oban Distillery produces their fine Scotch Whiskies.
Highly recommend taking a tour!

One of the best distillery tours I’ve ever been on, each stage of the process is described and you can see them up close. There is tastings throughout the tour, if you are not drinking they give you a little glass bottle which you can bring with you. The tour guide had wonderful personal stories about the town and the buildings. Loved every minute, highly recommend

Visit was excellent as always, but Mike our tour guide really made it, clearly very passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about the distillery, the process and more! The staff on site during the day including production and admin were also all very pleasant and helpful!
Whisky tasting lessons and tips from Mike were also very informative, I now have an even greater appreciation for my favourite tipple (didn't think I could have, but he managed!).
Small footprint for a distillery but you can see quality overrides any other aspect of production here, stunning.
10% off in store for tour guests also!

The Oban Distillery is fascinating to visit. The distillery tour led by Cathie is incredible. Her knowledge of Oban’s history and Whisky making process and her stories are great to listen to. A very interesting tour and tastings of some exclusive whiskies is all part of the package.

we purchased a tour in advance and had a great time with our guide Mike! Mike was so lovely and explained the process of making whisky very well. Stopping in oban was definitely a treat and I highly recommend it! We were even gifted whisky glasses at the end

Great tour. Gavin was clear, informative and efficient. We learned how whisky is made and how the different flavours are achieved. We sampled three whiskies at three stages of the tour and those driving could save theirs in small bottles. The hour flew by.

I had an amazing experience at the Oban distillery tour. I was amazed how the distillery is still protecting the way it manufactures the great whiskey over 230 years. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The tasting experience during the tour was great!

Went on a great tour. Guide John was funny and knowledgeable (and three drams helped make it a great time). I went from thinking I wasn’t much of a whisky fan to now appreciating it — and bought some to take home. The 10% discount for tour takers helps. I liked that we got to keep our drams as souvenirs, too.

Oban 14 is one of my favourite whiskies and visit to this distillery was an incredible experience. In the heart of the city, less than 200m from the coast, Oban distillery is the icon of this magical place of 20.000 people. Tour is not expensive and it is definitely worth it, staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and you get to have a tour through the centuries.
Also you get to try many whiskies around the distilery or in a bar, which you can't easily find everywhere.
Amazing place, amazing distilery, amazing people and definitely an amazing scotch!!!

The Oban Distillery tour was fascinating, enjoyable and informative. Our guide, Jim, was funny, helpful and appropriately Scottish. He made the entire tour great fun for our entire group. The craftsmanship and environmental steps taken by Oban were impressive.
Craig Henderson — Google review
One of the best distillery tour experiences I have ever had. Mark, our guide, was knowledgeable and at the same time funny, so that people without much knowledge about whisky - us - could pick up something from the tour. The distillery itself is small but the product they made is one of the best in Scotland. I appreciate how they run the business while working out to be carbon neutral.
Franklin Lau — Google review
We truly enjoyed our visit. Our guide Mark was nice and amusing. He enlightened us on the production procedures and excise collection (I did not know that the King owns all the whisky before it is taxed!). Three drums and a wee gift were a nice surprise.

I've been to a few distilleries now and this was slightly different for several reasons.
The distillery itself is smack bang in the centre of Oban town centre, as opposed to Speyside distilleries which are out in the countryside. So it is nice and convenient if you are in the area.
We were offered 3 drams of whisky staged throughout the 1 hour long tour, and given a small glencairn glass which we were provided a box for . The tour guide was well informed and polite, they were running late and this appeared outside of their control, due to short staffing. The Oban 14 year old whisky which is the most well known in the UK at least, is really special and the shop is well stocked, prices are very competitive.

Great tour at Oban Distillery. Guide was informative and funny, and the tour allowed us to get up close to the inning workings of the distillery. For £22 you get to try three Oban whiskies (or take them away to try at home if you're driving!) and also learn about the history of the brand, its flavours and its current whisky-making process. Great value for money and an hour well spent in Oban

We booked the Oban Distillery tour and it was very informative and entertaining. Our tour guide, I think was called Alan - I think he said he was fairly new to the job. But regardless he was brilliant at taking us through the place and describing the various stages and processes that create one of the world's best whiskeys. We got several drams along the way and they even give you a free glass with the Oban brand etched onto it. I wish my father-in-law was alive to have also gone as it was among his favorite go-to scotch's.

In centre of town, limited street parking available, small distillery with very friendly and passionate staff. 3 drams to try, a wealth of information on the process in a working distillery with a great gift shop & bar at the end. Fantastic experience well worth the money! Thanks Mike 🙂

Loved the tour. Very interesting. An hour well spent for sure, learning also a bit of local history and about the whisky industry. Loved the fact that you get to sample some of the whisky plus we got to keep a round of glasses which was really nice. If you cannot drink there you can take the samples away with you so won't be missing anything. Adam was really pleasant and funny. Thanks so much. P.S. if you do the tour you get a discount if you wanna buy a nice whisky afterwards, so well worth it.

Enjoyable experience. Working distillery located in the centre of Oban. Tour taken by Christine who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the drams which were of a quality product. Had 3 of these during the tour. Glass given as part of the Whisky tour. Discount available in store included afterwards. Mixed crowd with many tourists, ours included those from Japan, Canada and America.

We had the most wonderful experience at the Oban Distillery today! I booked the tour as a surprise for my husband and the distillery team made us feel so well looked after, especially Adam! He is such a credit to the distillery and his knowledge, confidence, and passion about the history of the company and their product is absolutely outstanding! I entered this tour as someone who has never liked whisky, and I left with a new found love for it that I NEVER thought I would have! We would absolutely recommend visiting this wonderful distillery to everyone visiting the are!
CalMac Ferries Oban is the gateway to a range of stunning Scottish islands, including Lismore, Kerrera, Mull, and Iona. These islands are havens for nature enthusiasts due to their sparse population and unspoiled landscapes. The ferry terminal is conveniently located near the town center with amenities like cafes nearby. CalMac's efficient service ensures timely departures and onboard facilities such as shops and cafes.
Booked tickets to go to Mull. Young lady very helpful telling us that we needed to be at the terminal at least 30 minutes before sailing time. Very modern building, entrance to ferry like walking down to board a plane. Extremely cheap to go to Mull, £7 return tickets, for approaching an hours journey both ways very reasonable.

No parking for foot passengers so make sure you set off with enough time to park in Oban...we missed our boat! Staff were wonderful though and changed our tickets without any fuss. Fantastic way to travel the islands and super cheap on foot!

Easy online booking service. They regularly post updates on services on their twitter page which i found very helpful, and employees are very quick to reply to DMs on there too. The time of my ferry was changed the day before (due to weather conditions) so I wasn't able to make it but the twitter was very helpful. I got a refund through calling their customer line which was also very helpful and easy to get through to. Would book again, just keep an eye on their twitter as services are subject to disruption due to weather etc.

Oban to Craignure crossing. Uneventful and straight forward, which is what you want in a ferry sailing. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The ferry itself was quite new. It looked good both inside and out

Great terminal for ferries going to various ports across west Scotland.
The terminal is very easily accessible from the town centre, has a Wetherspoons nearby for a breakfast (or drink if you return later!) and is well run with polite staff. There is also a cafe in the terminal. Just follow the signs to the terminal and you can’t go wrong.
The ferries we took were all on time, had a decent shop/cafe on board and, again, had polite staff.
Would recommend!

All staff we came into contact with either before loading or onboard were polite, friendly and informative. Ferry service was on time, the ferry appeared a little dated, but clean. Plenty of hand sanitiser dispensers and passengers were respectful of wearing masks as requested.

It's a ferry terminal, what more can you say? Well organised if a little confusing on first approach. Cal Mac ferries to Mull, Shetland, and other Hebredian islands.

The ferry to Oban to Isle of Mull is a short 45 min ride. The ferry has food, drinks etc. Clean bathrooms with lots of places to sit inside and out. My only issue is with the ticket situation. We tried to book online, but it's a rental car and wouldn't let us finish the booking, so we had to purchase the day of - sadly, this means standing spot only. You have to wait to see if you can board at that time or any after if there is room, but the staff did not explain that during purchase and it doesn't say on the ticket, we only knew after asking the crew working right by the dock which caused frustration. Otherwise, it's the only ferry for cars, and prices are great. Just book way ahead of time if you can.
Heather — Google review
We planned a trip weeks in advance but as we didn't know which car we'll be driving I entered the information the rental agency gave me and checked the box "I don't know the exact model of the car and I'll update it later".
As soon as I knew which car I'll be driving I went back to update my information but wasn't able to edit it as I chose to order as a guest and they don't offer any option to update your reservation if you booked that way. Fine for me I sent them an email to update my car information with the exact model I'm driving. Bad luck for me I had an upgrade at the rental agency which was 20 whole centimetres longer.
The next day the friendly CalMac ferries Oban answered me that there is not enough room on the ferry for my huge car. A little bit disappointed I asked for a refund because I had only this car on my vacation and was told that I can't be refunded because I asked for it less than 24 hours before departure. 23 hours before departure. Because I was waiting for their answer.
In the end I lost quite a bit of money and had to reschedule my day at the last minute because when I checked the box to say I didn't know exactly which car I'll be driving I thought it meant I won't have to be giving up my tickets if the car I ended up having was slightly different.
Excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend. To people I hate.
The imposing stone tower and garden of McCaig's Tower is a lovely place to take in the panoramic views over Oban Bay from its perch atop Battery Hill. The tower was built in 1897 by local banker John Stuart McCaig with the noble goal of employing unemployed local stonemasons, and its gardens offer a peaceful respite from the bustle of town life.
Megalithic, beautiful structure in the shape of a circle with numerous openings (windows) on the outside, similar to the colosseum. Top view of all of Oban with nice views. Beautiful vegetation in the summer.

A brief walk up from the harbor, this cool site was worth the trip. Beautiful houses and gardens along the way. It’s steep but doable for most. You can also drive and park pretty close. The views at the top were amazing.
Erica Saunders — Google review
It’s a brisk little walk up the hill to get to McCaig’s tower but you get the opportunity to see and feel the sleepy village’s true charm the whole way through. Once you’ve reached the peak, find a nice spot and just take in the brilliant view of Oban’s harbour from above.
The lights placed along the arched pillars will turn on before dark, providing the landscape with a cool and mysterious atmosphere to soak up as the dusk turns towards the night sky.
Note: you can drive up and park your car in the car park before walking in, but trust me, the walk up is the better experience. 🔭
Andres Engracia — Google review
Lovely panoramic views over Oban.
It's a steep walk up from the town centre or you can drive up the narrow streets and park about 30 steps below.
I've been there a few times over the years, and it's still always worth a visit just to enjoy the peace and quiet (if you're lucky).
Try and stick to the paths as people are cutting across the grass from the main viewing area.
It's lit up at night which looks pretty cool.
Read up on the back story behind it's building. It's quite interesting. Unfortunately there's nothing on site. So Wikipedia is you're friend.

Really beautiful place! Quite windy and a bit muddy when we visited, so be prepared. Amazing views and lovely atmosphere. Only required some stairs and a bit of a trek up the hill but nothing too difficult. It made for a nice walk! Highly recommend giving this place a visit!

Beautiful views of Oban from this local historical site. With a view point facing towards the harbour and a few benches to sit on. A steep walk from the tower centre or a short drive with a small free car park located outside the monument. The monument is beautiful to see from the inside and outside, with a grass area, trees, flowers and Bench's located within the tower.
The tower is even lit in the evening which looks lovely.

Strange how a person just planned to built a memorial for his family just to employ local people who are out of business. Really surprised by the history of the place. Awesome views of the town from the tower. Spectacular architecture.

This is a magical place. Although it is just another stone structure there is something so mysterious and magnificent about it. The view from the top of the town is stunning and this is a must must visit if you’re in Oban.

An interesting place, but there needs to be a bit more historical information to put the place in context.
The views over Oban and the surrounding seascape are exceptional.
Very photogenic place and quite a quiet place to sit and enjoy the views.
Car park quite small which limits visitor numbers, there are both stairs and pathway access
Alan Holt — Google review
You can get some great panoramic views from here, that is unless it is wet and miserable, like when we went. But the garden was still nice and the board on the view point was helpful, pointing out landmarks and the islands. I’m sure this would look amazing lit up at night, but not yet had chance to have a look. Would recommend for the views.
Sam March — Google review
If you're in Oban, you'll notice the structure towering over the city. It looks like something you'd see in ancient Rome. The history behind the structure is interesting. The views from the top are spectacular, especially when the weather cooperates. You can walk to this landmark or drive. There is a fair amount of parking available.

A brilliant folly that needs to be visited by day and by night. It has a great story behind, if somewhat poignant in the fact that the benefactor did not finish it.
The Tower also provides great views over Oban Harbour.

We were lucky enough to get beautiful sunshine on our March visit to Oban and McCaig's Tower. If you're walking up, be prepared for quite a steep climb. We had people with mobility problems in our party so we drove up to the car park. There's still a steep climb but an option of steps or slope. The views are stunning and well worth the effort
Tracy Robinson — Google review
We had an incredible experience at this location with a breathtaking view of the city and sea. The historic monument is round-shaped and looks abandoned. We visited it in the morning when the sky was clear, and it was beautiful. However, it was challenging to locate the entrance due to the absence of proper signposts, but fortunately, a local guided us. The car park is free, and there is no entry fee. On weekdays, hardly any visitors are present, making it a must-visit place in Oban. The hill leading up to the monument is steep and a bit thrilling to dive into, but it's worth it for the stunning view.

We drove up to the carpark at the tower as it was a very windy and rainy day. The view did not disappoint. I can't wait to visit in the summer to see the view over the Mull, just a bit too cloudy today. The Tower is huge with benches to have a seat and admire the view. There are steps or a wynding path for those unable to make the steps. Worth a visit.
The heritage museum Dunollie Museum, Castle and Grounds tells the story of the Clan MacDougall and their historic home castle. It features exhibits on the history of the clan, their home castle and life in Argyll. There's also a cafe on site for visitors to enjoy.
Spent hours here, really pleasant day. Lots of information in museum, definitely worth waiting for a tour. Worth visiting just for the views from the castle in any case.
During our wait times we had a delicious hot choc 'The Chieftain' and later soup and sandwiches and coffees from the onsite food cart.

Worth a visit. Small museum set within a house from 1745, with interesting exhibits and an informative guide. The castle also worth a visit, although mostly ruinous enough to see and a great view towards Oban. Point of note - very steep path to the castle would not be suitable for some.
Iain Craig — Google review
Great way to spend 2 to 3 hours.
Staff are so friendly, helpful, and amazingly knowledgeable! 1745 house was interesting, and the climb to the castle is worth it for the spectacular view. Castle is a ruin, but you can climb a narrow staircase (with rope rail to help) to the first floor and a second floor balcony. Definitely recommend a visit if you like your Scottish history. 👍👍

Went on a afterdark Halloween ghost walk there recently.
Very interesting stories told by the insightful and enthusiastic guide.
Was such good value only £9.50 a person.
They had a great value bar and the kettle kitchen was selling lovely homemade food and cakes.
There was outside seating undercover and it was decorated for Halloween, you could see alot of effort went in to decoration.
The staff were all in fancy dress to and they were all so nice and friendly.
On the walk upto the castle in the castle grounds we saw lots of bats to.

Yet again another great castle site in the Oban area that is both pleasant to wander around and historically interesting. It is ruinous but easy to imagine what it was and what it stood for. The areas that are accessible show some solid castle engineering that provide fantastic views of the coast and the surrounding areas. A few paths lead around the grounds but the climb to the castle does require a little effort due to the steep path, but thankfully has a rope handrail to assist if required and once at the top the scenery is reward indeed.The entry kiosk was staffed by a most pleasant and helpful lady who assisted with entry payment (which is a little more than other sites) and she also dealt with sales from the small but nicely stocked shop further into the visitor attraction area. Carpark is small and entry can be restricted by out flowing cars but works well with a little understanding. Did not try the cafe but did observe numerous people praising their food purchases. All in all I simply enjoyed my visit and therefore recommend it

Slightly curtailed by the current pandemic we had to book in advance. We arrived at the car park just in advance of our allotted time are were met by Alice, our guide.
Alice has a real passion for this place and it shows the tour was very informative and interesting, from the old ruin, to the new house and the general history of the family. It was 90 mins well spent and even the weather was fantastic

Dunollie castle is a very nice 15th century ruin. It's interesting to explore and learn about! The walk up to the ruin is very nice, with overhanging trees and lots of greenery.There is also 18th century house next to it with it's own interesting history. The house is a museum with lots of displays of how it was like to live in it when it was built. If you are visiting Oban Dunollie castle is a worthy visit!

Fabulous grounds, castle, museum and tour. We initially thought £8 each was quite steep as most castles we have visited across the hebrides have been free but this is definitely worth it. We joined the tour hosted by Matt, a young 17 year old lad who guided a tour of 20+ tourists across the grounds and castle. Very knowledgeable guy and put the tour so well together for such a young age. The museum that showcases the family life of the McDougouls was very well put together and learnt alot about the Scottish clans and their history. Grounds have lovely gardens and there is a nice shop and cafe at the end. The lady in the hut at the entrance was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great visit

It was great to look around the old castle ruins and wonder what else there is left to find in future archeological digs. I enjoyed my guided tour around the outside of the 1745 house and expansion wing as well as the castle ruins. It was very impressive to consider how long the MacDougall clan has held the property and I feel like it would be a huge amount of pressure to continue caring for it appropriately if you were the current clan chief.

Beautiful walk around the grounds and up to the castle. I arrived right at opening on a weekday and didn't have much time to walk the full grounds, so I headed up to the castle first. I was the only person up there on a beautiful morning, and it was a magical -and informative - experience. Staff were extremely helpful and kind. Worth the walk from Oban town center!

It's worth your time to wait for a tour, as there's lots to learn you won't get from the signs. There's a steep climb to castle elevation - I wouldn't want to try getting a wheelchair up there. Great view, though, of Oban and the water.
Leslie Walt — Google review
Dropped on to Dunollie by chance and we were glad we did. The staff were friendly and the undergraduate conducting the tour was both knowledgeable, interesting and witty. The dogs came on the tour with us but couldn't go in the museum. The views from the castle were stunning.
Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel, a ruined waterside fortress that belonged to the MacDougall clan chief, is worth visiting for its intact structure and a glimpse into peaceful life 700 years ago. The entry fee is around £7 per person, but the castle offers splendid views of the surroundings. While the chapel is accessible, tombs are cordoned off by a gate on one side and a 5ft wall.
As we travelled to Oban we thought we would have a walk around this Scottish castle.
Free parking
So we walked up to the castle and it was a nice gentle walk which could be done if you were in a wheelchair.
As we got close we realised it had a shop and with it being early January I didn't expect it to be open.
The gentleman inside was very friendly and helpful
The shop was well stocked and we bought some refreshments
The castle is well maintained and presented
I've shared a host of photos for you to enjoy
I couldn't resist playing with the bricks as it reminded me of when I was a child with coloured wooden bricks.
Open all the year around
It's a absolute must to visit
Great location
5 stars from me

The castle is good and most is intact. Entry fee is approx £7 per person. Good view. The chapel is accessible as well but the tombs are cordoned off by a gate on one side and a neck high (5ft) wall but the place is nice and calm and pleasant. And one can imagine how peaceful the life would've been during the early days of the castle and chapel. Around 700yrs ago. All the glory.

Great castle to go exploring, kid friendly too. This is nice castle to see the building techniques used back in the day. Make sure you look at the base of the castle and look up from there. Inside, there's rooms to explore and some science to be had. Some hands on kid-learning with blocks and arches. Building stronger structures for sure. Don't forget the Chapel out back. The ruins are very interesting.

What a lovely hidden gem , it's a place you wouldn't pass while exploring the local area in the car , but I found it well worth the visit.

Great place for a gentle walk and commanding views even if you don’t go inside the castle it’s ideal for a walk with a dog, also visit the chapel in the woods, it’s a little rough in places so wear the right shoes 👞 nice bit of Scottish history to visit. Free car park a short distance away, trust the satnav as you have to drive through a industrial estate to reach it.

Debra Doser — Google review
I absolutely loved it here, not only is it a superb castle, chapel and grounds but is a great place to walk which in the most part is pet friendly. The charge for entry is for the castle which is largely ruined but has several rooms at different heights (steep climbing) with things to do for the young in all of us and the rest is free to wander including a couple of stoney beaches with great distance views. It feels peaceful here and steeped in history and the walk to the castle is scenic with a pathway bounded on one side by woodland on the other the coast. A nice little gift shop is available to buy a few souvenirs and pay your entrance fee. There is also a really good guide book full of information and the whole site is one that Historic Scotland should be proud of. It does seem a bit odd on the drive in through a housing estate and an industrial site but once there I thoroughly recommended it for a visit

Great value for the cost. Staff was great, helped provide a map and explanation of where you should go. Plenty of grounds for walking, probably spent 2 hours here just enjoying the grounds and beautiful views.

Lovely castle, with beautiful views. The castle is open all year round and free to historical Scotland members. Tickets for an adult is £7.50 for the castle and the chapel. Inside has been refloored and each of the three levels has small games for children (first floor snakes and ladders, third floor build a bridge challenge)
The castle walls walk way has beautiful views of the woods, sea, beach and other surrounding areas. The chapel is a short walk from the castle in the woods and is a nice ruin.

From a historical point of view, a very important castle. Take the trouble to get a ticket and have a stroll, read the info signs and learn. It has connections with Robert the Bruce and the Bonnie Prince. Nice little bonus is the chapel close by.

Amazing castle and tour. Very rich history and location. The history is deeply in twined in family and power struggles. A great location 👌
The small but interesting museum in Oban is devoted to local history and features a collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the town's involvement in World War II as a base for Catalina seaplanes and as a marshaling area for Atlantic convoys. The museum is open to the public with variable hours, depending on volunteer availability. The knowledgeable staff are approachable and friendly, and there's a good local exhibition to enjoy.
Small but very interesting museum, it has lots of military items on show with most having a conection with Oban.

A must visit when in Oban. Museum with free entry which contains a lot of WW2 items, memorabilia and local history. Interesting snap shot of times gone by. Volunteers are welcoming and have a scavenger hunt for children. Please give generously as donations are essential. Lest we forget.

This museum is fantastic. The history of the museum and the old photo's, memorabilia, personal accounts are exceptional. It's the type of museum I could spend all day wandering around. There is some much to see and read about.There is a 15 minute dvd presentation about Oban and the surrounding district, the history of etc. It's free to visit, just hopefully leave a donation as you leave as the museum is run solely by volunteers. Well worth a visit.

The best kept secret in Oban. The amount of history and historical artifacts was astounding. It's volunteer operated, so please consider making a donation upon your visit. Street parking may be available, but it can easily be walked to if you're exploring Oban. If you've got the time, give them a visit.

A nice history of the town, well presented.
Not sure why it's called war and peace museum. Certainly has lots of military memorabilia, They use the peace symbol in their logo, But that is about all you get of peace, the rest is military
But not a bad little place to visit.

Awesome. Huge collection of interesting historical items each with their own story. Well put together and could spend hours there reading everything! The section on MaQuaries tower and why it was built was my favourite. Also a very interesting history video available to watch there and buy about the surrounding area. Great for everyone.

Free entry to the museum. Whole family, adults and teenagers throughly enjoyed it. The gentleman who we spoke to was so informative and with his descriptions of the exhibits made it even more thought provoking. Will visit again as there is so much to take in. Please leave a donation or buy the little card package. The museum relies on donations.

An amazing collection of artefacts and photos tell the story of Oban. Well laid out in sections of history, military, railways, aviation, etc. The volunteers who were there when I visited were very helpful and knowledgeable and the railwayman gave an insight into the local workings. It's on the front, it's free, why not visit!

Perfect location close to Oban. Lovely sandy beach with beautiful views towards the islands. Great walking trail to pebble beaches. Children and dog friendly. Public toilets and car park available.

I visited during Easter holidays. I took a walk around the coastal path, which was very quiet. The path itself wasn't too muddy and an easy walk. The beach was lovely and not too busy. I had a tasty toastie and mocha from the food van too. There's also free public toilets. Next time I will bring my swim stuff!

Beautiful place to visit, relatively warm even during the winter due to the wind being restricted in certain areas. It's a small beach, and close by to the beautiful Obin.
I recommend giving it a visit if you're nearby.

Nice little beach with plenty of walks around onto the hills…the views were beautiful and Ganavan maze was quite cute too 🥰
Lucy Greenwood — Google review
A great place to visit on your own or with your pets. The sandy beach area is large enough to do the beach type activities but does get full quickly. Tide is often flat and not too deep for paddling or swimming and the coastal path leads across the top of the beach and out along the coast to the North. Carpark is small, cheapish, but adequate except when full at summer and has a few other walks leading from it (like the path to Dunbeg). A really nice view of the islands beyond (on a clear day) which can be enjoyed from the picnic area (grassy area to the side of the carpark). There is also a fast food outlet (not always open) serving good food reasonably priced. In all a nice place to visit and recommended if in the Oban area.

Above and Beyond. Fussy 3 year old wanted Tomato Soup. Not on the menu anywhere.... went in to ask and was offered to heat up a can if we bought some. Did that, given a nice plastic mug to drink it. So grateful, thanks to the three lovely females that helped us.
Also bought something that was great value and always had a great experience in here. Scottish welcome!!!
Pulpit Hill offers stunning panoramic views of Oban's skyline, making it an ideal spot to witness both sunrise and sunset. To get there, visitors can take a scenic walk from the town center, passing through the hilly residential area at the south end of the harbor. The breathtaking vistas from the summit make the journey well worth it.
St Columba's Roman Catholic Cathedral, constructed in 1959, is a Gothic Revival style building situated on the Esplanade providing beautiful views of the bay. It is Oban's largest religious structure and holds daily masses at varying times throughout the week. The cathedral boasts an unusual turreted tower instead of a traditional spire which adds to its unique charm. Inside, visitors can admire spacious interiors adorned with stunning stained glass windows and ornamental fixtures such as beautiful fonts.
It's a strange looking cathedral with a turreted tower rather than traditional spire which gives it a charm all of its own, inside is beautiful, spacious with some gorgeous stained glass and ornamental font and fittings. I'm not a religious guy but I do like the architecture of churchs, cathedrals, mosques, temples, etc

A very solid looking building is the best I can come up with after seeing St Columbas while walking past , it's very functional and lacks the style that a lot of other cathedrals have but it faces the Atlantic storms head on and sums up the character of the locals very well.

Very nice, comforting cathedral. Spectacular in size, and seafront positioning only. Candles for lighting available.
Paul Devivo — Google review
Oh dear. Afraid we didn't really like this church which failed to live up to its grandiose exterior and position on the northern promenade of Oban. Because of its comparatively young age there is nothing much of historical worth inside the church and equally not much of beauty. The interior walls are bare and gloomy. There is one, not very good, painting of St. Columba. No pews, only rows of chairs and a huge space around the simple altar which would at least keep the bishop fit. And the cold!! I would hate to have to endure a service here. I know the information says that the diocese is quite far-flung but poor but really, the church has little to attract the curious traveller. Sorry.

My husband and I visited at the end of April during a flying trip to Scotland. It was great to find Mass at a convenient time on Saturday morning and lovely to meet a couple of the parishioners afterwards who were very welcoming. Whilst initially seeming quite a dark place, when the sun shone through it was beautiful, and when lit up for Mass we could appreciate all the beautiful details which are not so apparent in the gloom of a grey day. A vibrant parish community. I hope we will return one day.
Small, efficient, friendly & welcoming. Highly recommended, small cafe etc. Added bonus of Dunstaffanage Castle grounds - wonderful views

A really well-designed public engagement centre, teaching the general public about the seas and species that live within them as well as the ocean research that is conducted. It is free to enter (donations were requested and should be given in my opinion!?) with ample car parking, making it a good option to drop in if the weather is bad or moving on from Oban. The exhibits mix different engagement techniques (from self-exploration to videos to hands on lab activities to colouring in) to seek to engage and cater for all ages and learning styles.

The Atlantis Leisure centre has a great playground outside and a pool that is excellent, but the opening times for the pool are bizarre and the soft play is full of feral children who are too old for it.
As someone who only visits while visiting parents can't say too much apart from that I love the soft play, I've used the swimming pool twice which is great not to overcrowded the baby pool is good, gym, changing rooms, showers and saunas are all in tip top condition.

Mixed feelings about this place… Our toddler absolutely loved the amazing playground outside. The pool is also excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. HOWEVER, the pool opening times are beyond bizarre. And the soft play, whilst well-equipped, was full of the most feral children I’ve ever seen on our visit. I’ve never before seen punches thrown in a soft play… The under 3s area was full of 7+ year olds pelting each other with balls, charging around and climbing the netting. It was actually dangerous! So much so that I stood with my very independent 2 year old the entire time after he was knocked over twice by children far too old to be in the under 3s area. When it’s as busy as it was on Saturday, staff really need to keep a keen eye on what happening.

We went for a swim while holidaying in the area. There are a lot of other facilities such as kids play areas and squash courts but the pool itself is very small. Despite lane swimming supposedly being finished by the time we arrived one area of the pool was still being used for lane swimming and what looked like regular locals were using the remaining area for the same purpose. It's a great local resource but not exactly geared up towards visitors.

Very bad rules and manager, the water was very cold in the pool, me and my son went to the sauna because we froze in the pool, well the manager kicked us out of the sauna because my son was 11 years old, after that me and my son and 7 year old daughter went to the deep pool, I put swimming fins + a safety board on my daughter and they kicked us out of there too, despite the fact that I was always close to my children... the children cried and said that I had never brought them to this pool, a very harmful manager... I don’t recommend it go there with your children

Visited many times over the years and it is a beautiful island. My most recent experience was on passage from Tobermory back to Ireland I needed diesel. On entering Oban bay I called them to ask if I could fill up with diesel. I was told no, they wouldn't sell me any unless I was booking in for the night. Not a great way to facilitate visiting yachts. I won't be back.

The Jetty Gallery in Oban is a charming art gallery with a friendly and informative owner. The gallery offers a diverse range of unique products, including jewelry, ceramics, paintings, and wooden furniture. The prices are varied to cater to different budgets. Visitors can expect beautiful and unusual pieces that are perfect for gifts or personal collections. It's highly recommended for both locals and tourists who appreciate artistic creativity at its finest.
I’ve never seen a more beautifully curated set of pieces in a gallery! Absolutely wonderful. 👌🏻

I was worried this is the type of store I wouldn't find in Oban. I got a wooden pear and a felted bird. When I held it, she noted that the pear has a clove on the base of it, which was an interesting detail. When I checked out, she wrote the names of both creators on a card, purely from memory. It's apparent the owner cares about the items she sells and the people behind them. Cute selection of stuff!
