Hello! What can you do in Oban?

[@nicolkellettbushwalkingadv4581]

Heaps, its a beautiful Seaside town, great shops and places to eat and drink, lots off seafoods, catch a ferry to the islands, visit McCaiggs tower, great views up there, you can have a really nice weekend there.

Visit the Oban Whiskey distillery as well...

One of the most long & boring train journeys in history. Sure, the views are nice, but the train goes about 15 miles an hour the whole way! Just over 3 hours by rail. I can do it in just under 2 hours by car. But thanks for the video 😁

What's yer hurry?

@@arthurgordon6072I'm talking from a local point of view. For tourists is a lovely journey. But if you're just trying to get from point A to point B, it's a boring, tedious journey.
