Oban
Oban is a bustling harbour town on Scotland's west coast, known as the gateway to the Isles. Watch ferries come and go from the picturesque bay, climb to the folly of McCaig's Tower for sweeping views, sample fresh seafood on the quay and visit the town's waterfront distillery. With island-hopping trips to Mull and Iona on offer, Oban is a scenic and lively base for a Highland coach tour.
Oban is the lively heart of Scotland's west coast, nestled around a sheltered bay filled with fishing boats and island ferries. Often called the Gateway to the Isles, the town is always buzzing with travelers heading for Mull, Iona and beyond. If you fancy a climb, make your way up to McCaig's Tower—a curious Colosseum-style folly that offers breathtaking views over the water. Down on the quay, you'll find seafood as fresh as it gets and a waterfront distillery that's been crafting whisky since 1794.
The winding roads to Argyll are a joy to experience, especially when you can leave the driving to someone else. Our coach tours take you comfortably through spectacular Highland scenery right to the coast. Once you arrive, the choice is yours: hop on a ferry to the islands, indulge in a seafood feast, tour the distillery, or simply relax and watch the boats drift by in the bay.
