- A morning walk through the small Scottish town of Oban including a steep climb up to McCaig's Tower.
This video was filmed on Wednesday 13th October, 2021.
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. 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.
The most prominent attraction in Oban is McCaig's Tower which is visible from a great portion of the town. Construction of the tower began in 1897, funded by John Stuart McCaig as a way of providing work for local stone masons and to serve as a lasting legacy for his family. McCaig died in 1902, and although construction was set to continue, with McCaig promising £1000 a year for it's construction to continue, his family challenged this in court and won, stopping construction.

Great video, I got to see all the bits I never have time to when I am there and it's so nice that you didn't add any awful music to the vid like so many do.

I was working at Wetherspoons then - I half expected to see myself popping out of the kitchen door with a rubbish bag!
Glad you caught the tide in - Oban harbour looks much better when it is!

That was Jacobs Ladder you climbed up to the Folly.
Sure was! A tough climb up those steps but well worth it 😊

God bless you 🙏
what about the Oban distillery??...
It was just a bit further down the road - you can glimpse the top of it on the left whilst climbing Jacobs Ladder 😀
I worked in the great western hotel on the esplanade from 1972 to 1975 Oban was a fantastic fishing town sadly now it far to commercial and to many tourists
Amazing 🤩 I can imagine it was fantastic back then 👍 i still feel it has a nice vibe today too - a beautiful place 🙌🏻
These look like expensive cars parked along these homes
It’s a beautiful place - well worth a visit 🏴
