Venture to Oban, which means “little bay” in Gaelic, but is definitely big on things to see and do.

Oban is nestled in the west coast in a beautiful seaside area, which makes it a wonderful place to visit the beautiful islands of Iona, Mull, and Staffa. Or possibly explore Kerrera, the closest island to Oban, where you can enjoy a pleasant stroll and visit the ruins of Gylen Castle.
