Oban

25 March 2024

Oban is the unofficial capital of the West Highlands of Scotland and our base for this holiday. Indulge in the panoramic views of the mountains, lochs and islands which have captivated artists, authors, composers, and poets for centuries

Day 1

Morning departure from your local pickup up point, we make our way to Oban arriving late afternoon.

Day 2

Free day. Stroll along the Esplanade, watch the ships come and go, visit McGaig’s Tower which overlooks the town and perhaps visit the War & Peace Museum.

Day 3

We take a coastal drive along Loch Linnhe to Fort William for some free time in the highland resort.

Day 4

Today’s excursion takes us through glorious countryside and along the northern tip of Loch Awe to Inverary Castle. The castle is home to the Duke & Duchess of Argyll who open the doors to allow visitors a glimpse into their family heritage and the way their ancestors lived. See breathtaking displays in the Armoury Hall, exquisitely decorated tapestries in the Drawing Room and extravagant decorations in the State Dining Room.

Day 5

After breakfast, rejoin the coach as we retrace our journey home.
