Oban, "Gateway to the Isles" Scotland.

            Oban, “Gateway to the Western Isles”  in Argyll and Bute is the main exit port for Caledonian MacBrayne ferries sailing to both the Inner and Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The town itself can get very busy in the summer tourist season with an increase in population of some 24.000 visitors. The town is dominated by John Stuart McCaig’s Grade B listed historic monument of McCaig's Tower which sits prominent on Battery Hill overlooking the town, and was built around 1898 of Bonawe granite taken from Airds Bay on Loch Etive, to provide work for local stonemasons during the winter months.
