Oban brings many fond memories to me.. i used to scuba dive there.. you have lots of scenery to appreciate.. lots of lovely walks.. especially over the river connell , you can see the whirlpools at the falls of laura.. thers a hotel of the same name where you can sit in front of an open fire place and have a pint of prawns, there are places to go snorkling ,if you ask around ,when you are there,, and you can go on a boat trip to the isle of mull .. on the way you can see the seals and view historical history,,there are so many quaint places to see that its best you ask when you get there people will tell you where to go so dont worry.. have a great time.. xx i think soz gegs has been there before she deserves a topsy for her answer... xxx

Oban is beautiful, you can get a ferry to the isle of Mull from oban and visit the monestrt (monks still run it) and can catch a train to Fort William and see the beautiful scenery on the way and Ben Nevis in the distance. I loved the fresh seafood stall on the bay at Oban, the food was fantastic and just caught, you can visit the whisky distillery in Oban and the nightlife (the few pubs) is really homely and the locals were lovely, do not ask for lemonade in your whiskey though, I did and got a loud 'No', they gave me a dribble of water instead! Love oban, beautiful and laid back.

I have no wish to be rude but I am always surprised when I read questions such as this. As a simple exercise I "Googled" Oban and there are in excess of 3 million pages to view. No doubt many are irrelevant or repetetive but I am sure that you could have found an answer to your question. As an aside, I visited Oban many years ago and found it to be a pleasant Scottish town but not the sort of place that one would visit for a rootin' tootin' holiday.

Sea life centre
Trips to Mull - duart castle, torosay castle (a house with lovely gardens & railway), tobermoray - distillery and chocolate factory.
Wildlife tour of mull
Also try to get to Iona, Staffa, Treshnish Isles.
Fort william, caledonia canal, loch ness are not far away.
If you have time, get out to Barra too.
Mull is a large island with tiny roads. Most are single track. You stand a good chance of seeing otters, eagles, deer, many birds. East mull is often rainy, cos of ben mor. West mull is much sunnier.
