Getting around Oban
Oban is called the gateway to the Isles because the CalMac ferries to Craignure, Mull, Colonsay and the Slate Islands leave from its pier, and the railway line from Glasgow terminates here. McCaig's Tower stands on the hill above the bay, Dunollie Castle guards the entrance, and the Oban distillery and the seafood on Corran Esplanade draw visitors through the year.
Booking traffic follows the sailings: early runs to the pier with luggage, late arrivals off the last ferry, and pre-booked transfers along the A85 to Glen Etive, to Glen Coe, and onward to Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
