16/26.- Excursions from Glasgow. Oban From Ferry

Continue on from Inverary along the A819 and the A85 to reach Oban. The town of Oban, Gaelic for Little Bay, is a wee gem that sparkles even on a cloudy day.

If you've come by train, the train station is adjacent to the port, so you can clamber down and step onto a ferry which will whisk you away to Mull, or Iona, to name just two of the many islands that you can visit. There are dozens of bed and breakfasts, hotels, and self-catering properties in Oban, if you're interested in spending a few days in the area. In the distance, on the hill, is the famous McCaig's Tower.
