FÀILTE DON OBAN!

Our bustling town has something for everyone as we welcome back our lovely visitors in 2023. Known as the Seafood Capital, you’ll not need to go far for the freshest produce the west coast has to offer. You can often see it coming ashore on the south pier – from sea to plate in mere minutes! Take a walk along the south pier to the various seafood shacks or dine in at one of the town’s numerous restaurants offering fresh local produce, a real treat for the taste buds!

Take a stroll along George Street and feel the buzz from the lively cafes and pubs or perhaps take a tour round Oban Distillery, one of Scotland’s smallest and oldest distilleries. The lightly smoked, fresh malt is known the world over and the Oban 14 Year Old is part of the six Classic Malts to give you a taste of each renowned whisky producing region. To add to the atmosphere you can often find live music in many of the pubs and bars. Sit back, relax and revel in the talented folk musicians this area has to offer.

If retail therapy is more your style then Oban has plenty to offer on that front.

Bring back a keepsake of your west coast stay from one of our local crafters and browse the many shops offering everything from hand knitting and colourful tweeds to quaichs and wellies.

Oban is rich in culture too, with many events at The Rockfield Centre including exhibitions and concerts. Don’t forget about Dunollie Museum, Castle & Grounds with its beautiful gardens and 1745 House Museum, home to clan MacDougall material and archives as well as woodland grounds and a castle ruin for all to explore.
