Oban, Scotland, UK
The unofficial capital of the West Highlands, Oban is a small coastal town that has maintained its place as one of Scotland’s most popular resort areas since Victorian times. Perched high above the town on Battery Hill, McCaig’s Tower is a perfect place to start exploring. The well-maintained gardens and spectacular views of Oban are well worth the 144-step climb from the town below, while a leisurely stroll along Corran Esplanade offers a lovely perspective on Oban’s waterfront and nearby Kerrera Island.
