Oban is a scenic resort town and port on Scotland's west coast, known as the "Gateway to the Isles." Located in Argyll and Bute, this historic settlement developed around its distillery and fishing industry in the 18th century. The town's name comes from the Gaelic word meaning "little bay," referring to its sheltered harbor.
Oban's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in Highland traditions, with strong connections to Celtic and Gaelic culture. The town's landmark McCaig's Tower, resembling the Colosseum of Rome, stands as a testament to its Victorian-era development. Today, Oban serves as an important cultural and economic hub for the region, maintaining its traditional Scottish character while supporting contemporary arts and cultural activities. The town's maritime history is reflected in its architecture and ongoing fishing industry, while its position as a transport hub continues to connect mainland Scotland with the Hebridean islands.
