Oban Harbour
My favourite part of our visit to Oban yesterday was walking round the harbour area. So much to see and photograph.
Love, Liz
Oban started as a small fishing village, but the train link to Glasgow and the increase in steamer traffic and tourism in the late 19th century, saw it become the main hub between the western islands and the mainland. It still is a popular holiday destination for those who want to explore the west of Scotland and the islands.
The tall ship Pelican has had an interesting history and is used, among other things as a training ship for young people.
There are some interesting buildings in Oban. My particular favourite is this lovely red sandstone building from 1901. I think it used to be the Royal Bank of Scotland - it is in George Street. Love the architectural details - wonderful!
Hope you enjoyed this little trip to Oban. Hope to go back during the summer when the sun is shining - if we ever get a summer, that is!
