Oban Area
The bustling town of Oban in the north of Argyll, offers modern shopping and leisure facilities, as well as key services, not only to the surrounding mainland areas, but also to many of the islands. Translated from the Gaelic as "little bay", Oban's naturally sheltered position has made it grow as a gateway to the islands with ferries to Mull, Lismore, Kerrera, Barra, South Uist, Colonsay, Coll, Tiree, as well as Islay in the summer. Oban is a thriving community boasting one of the most picturesque settings to be found, with houses clinging to steep hillsides surrounding the calm bay, busy with the movement of fishing boats, yachts and ferries. Dominating the skyline is McCaig's Tower, a colliseum-style monument which celebrated its centenary in 1997.
The areas surrounding Oban and Argyll itself are some of the most scenic in Scotland and are steeped in history. One of the benefits of being based in Argyll is the high quality of life enjoyed by residents.
