Out and About Northern Ireland visits Oban - Argyll and Bute Scotland.
Oban is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William. During the tourist season, the town can have a temporary population of up to over 24,000 people. Oban occupies a setting in the Firth of Lorn and the bay forms a near perfect horseshoe, protected by the island of Kerrera; and beyond Kerrera, the Isle of Mull. To the north, is the long low island of Lismore and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour.
Today, the port is the key mainland ferry terminal for crossings to Mull and several of the Outer Hebrides as well as the Inner Hebrides; as such, it is often called the ‘Gateway to the Hebrides’. Yet, Oban’s development came late as a harbour; and not really until the late 19th century and into the 20th and the coming of the railway was it fully utilised.
Most of the buildings are 19th century, save a couple of old inns and the distillery built by John and Hugh Stevenson in 1794 and is of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, and certainly much older than the town of Oban.
There’s something about the place that makes you want to go for an evening walk; maybe it’s the sea air, or the choice of places to stroll to: such as Dunollie castle at the far end of the esplanade, Pulpit Hill above the ferry terminal or if you’re feeling particularly fit, McCaig’s Folly which overlooks the town. The Wealthy banker, John McCaig wanted a lasting reminder and to provide local stonemasons with work over the winter months, and so from 1897 to his death in 1902 a Romanesque tower was built on one of Oban’s higher terraces. The views from the folly are breathtaking, overlooking the bay, Lismore and Mull. With his death the project effectively came to an end and only the outer walls were actually built; but it remains a prominent local landmark, and worth the hike to see (you can drive if the legs aren’t quite up to it).
Oban is one of Scotland’s gems, a fun town with plenty to see and a great base to explore some of the most important prehistoric, historic and scenic locations in Western Europe; and whether by rail, road or boat it should be on any itinerary.

Hi Paul - many thanks for viewing my video - yes a great wee place on a good day - great walk along the headland also!👍
4:51 And now he is eating the violas/pansies! 🙂 He/She is so cute that I would let him/her.
I love how he likes to eat the heads off the weeds/dandelions.
Where is this
How fascinating! I love reading the comments from people who grew up there. I just discovered this while doing genealogy research on my great grand father.
Many thanks for viewing Hillmount Factory video and glad that you found it interesting - a "trip down memory lane" really!!👍
Love the music. So calming like the countryside in Co.Fermanagh. look forward to seeing inside the Castle someday. Beautiful house.
Would have enjoyed some facts, included, about the structure/locale.
You cannot or shouldn't eat the vegetables due to Lead Poising from many previous years of smelting
I was raised in Donaghcloney...Michael Lumb, by Sam and Julia Galloway
Many thanks for viewing "Donaghcloney - A Short Walk" - I hope this brought back many happy memories for you!!
I see the Bell 47 has doors fitted and closed but they it is N Ireland not Florida.
Cool 😎
the Glynn side of my family came from there 😢
So nice 👍
Absolutely Brilliant Series n I still watch the episodes every day .Sadly as in life a lot of the characters have now sadly passed but I still love them all .I still cannot watch the episode where Compo is meant to have passed it breaks my heart .
These are great Will. V atmospheric and quite funny
One has taken residence in our garden too!

Lovely reminder of Donacloney Used to live there. Miss it so much. Beautiful quaint, rural village
Many thanks for viewing "Donaghcloney - A Short Walk" and I hope it brought back many happy memories of your time spent there! Has not really changed a lot but some new housing developments have been built.
My nan lived in mill street many years ago eileen eakins xxx
Brings back memories of watching and enjoying the sitcom with my late grandfather.
Nice to see this again.
What's interesting about the Lisburn layout is depending on the exhibition the ulster model railway club will sometimes call it "Silburn" whenever they want to run British stock on it. It's a pretty cool idea. My heart does swell with joy when I see Irish Stuff on it though; just feels right.
Many thanks for viewing - yes the name is easily changeable from "Lisburn" to "Silburn” depending on what stock they wish to run. The models of NIR and CIE are really great looking models and really suit the layout!
@@outaboutnorthernireland9671 No problem. Felt like looking it up. Saw it earlier on today at Cultra. It was running as "Silburn" with British Stock :)
Yes indeed - really liked the Puma the Wessex and the Scout - we had a fly- over of a fully restored Scout about two weeks ago - very distinctive sound!👍
Opening tune in film clip was a song I used to hear being played in shops in Oban back in the 80s Written by a local man. Can’t remember the song. Any ideas what it was called?
Islands of Beauty by C. John Taylor. He owned Highland Arts
Hi Richard - As already mentioned by Graham, the song was indeed called “Islands of Beauty” written by C. John Taylor and he was the owner of Highland Arts on the island. 👍
@@outaboutnorthernireland9671 when did you make this film? I used to work in the Easdale Highland Arts shop when I was younger. It’s been shut for a good number of years now
@@grahamcampbell4042 - Hi Graham, this was filmed in May 2010 - had a lovely time there and indeed on the West coast of Scotland - beautiful place!
Loved the Puma. Miss it.
Yes indeed - really liked the Puma the Wessex and the Scout - incidentally, saw a fly-over of a fully restored Scout about two weeks ago - very distinctive sound!👍
Hello. Could I please speak to the person who uploaded this?
Hi Evita, Thank-you for viewing my channel, and "St. Patrick’s Cathedral Armagh”. If you have any questions regarding the Cathedral, I will do my best to try and answer them!.
@@outaboutnorthernireland9671 do you have any knowledge about the state of the cathedral in 1641?
Regarding the "state of the building in 1641” I do know that there was a fire which destroyed the building circa.1511 - the Cathedral lists the "organists" as far back as 1634. However I have put your question to the ”Cathedral” and will get back to you when a response is received.
thank you for making this video! I was thinking about rebuilding this church, or building one similar to it, using pallet wood! This will be a great help
Well done, a great video, great to see them making a comeback in this country.
Hi Gerard - Many thanks for viewing my video! - This was a "first" for me - stayed for about two months visiting every day - really great to see! Has been back but not as frequent.
@@outaboutnorthernireland9671 You are welcome, extinct in Ireland for some time, seemingly some strayed in in 1960s from Britain, soon established themselves on east coast, Wicklow to Antrim, glad to report they can now be found west of the Shannon in Aghrane Woods, Ballygar, Co Galway and possibly other locations in this area, keep up the good work.

Hi Emmalouise - Thank you for viewing my video on Ballycastle - beautiful part of Co. Antrim and a beautiful coast - have visited Ballycastle many times and really enjoy walking in the surrounding area!
@@outaboutnorthernireland9671 no problem great video
My Farther was born there...His surname was Neill..!
What an amazing job guys. It looks great however, although the air superiority grey was a bit boring, the fact that it was in 43Sqn colours meant a lot to me so its a wee bit of a shame the ‘Fighting Cock’ went. The paint job is amazing. We used to see the Royal Navy Phantoms at Leuchars when they weren’t embarked on the Ark Royal. Hangar 1 at Leuchars is still called the Ark Royal hangar. Would love to see one flying again.
MONCUR007 - Many thanks for viewing "Phantom Unveiling" - yes a lot of work went into the "restoration" of this aircraft and the paint work is amazing! Had also the privilege of seeing these aircraft at Leuchars many times when there on holiday and attending the Air Shows. Great aircraft and one of my favourites, along with the Lightening and Jaguar (which were also based at Leuchars in their day, if my memory serves me correctly?).

Beautiful, and I have been there.
I know it well Out & About. My sister raised a family here and I plyed tennis on the old courts near Liddles. Days long gone.
Hi Tom - many thanks for viewing "Donaghcloney - A Short Walk" - taken "just" 17 years ago, a lot of folk would remember the factory as it was then but like many other factories of similar nature, unfortunately they are now confined to history!
Another superb video. Thanks for uploading
Mervyn M - Many thanks for viewing "Donaghcloney - A Short Walk" - like many other places, the last 20yrs or so has brought many changes!
Been here quite a few times when visiting family. A special place
Best wishes to all playing and listening. I love the sounds! Banbridge is my old home town. I have many fond memories of the place and the people. I used to regularly visit the town library in the old Technical building where Mrs Foster supplied me with all the crime novels I could carry. I lived at Windsor Terrace, Castlewellan road. I am 67 now and effectively left Banbridge when I was 21 to teach at Newtownbreda High school Belfast.
Hi Tom - many thanks for viewing "Banbridge Accordion Orchestra" - yes, a well organised group of musicians who entertain the public and the residents of Residential Homes etc. Unfortunately, for the past year or so, due to current circumstance, Banbridge Accordion Orchestra has been unable to do so. Similarly, with current restrictions in place, I too have been unable to be "Out and About" as in the past and am relying on video taken some time ago (mostly from holidays in Scotland etc) for my channel - hence the recent “Scottish” flavour to "Out and About"! I am however, indebted to the organiser of "Banbridge Accordion Orchestra" for granting me permission to publish the entire video of their performance in Banbridge. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did recording same! Many thanks.
