After reading this, I regret not making a trip to Scotland when I was in the UK a few years ago. The castles definitely seem like attractions that I would be interested in on my first visit. Thanks for sharing!

Oban looks so charming and with a lot of historic places to see! Anywhere that has castles I immediately love! I’d want to visit the castles obviously, the Oban distillery and the falls of Lora. I can’t wait to include this on a road trip on my visit back!

Our plans for a road trip around Scotland is getting bigger with the addition of places like Oban. We love to tour the historic spots and enjoy outdoor spots like the falls of Lora. But would not pass on the Oban Distillery. The single malt scotch sounds yummy.

This is great timing as I’m hoping to plan a trip up to Oban this autumn! I didn’t know there were so many historic attractions in the city and around the surrounding area as well. Thanks for the great information!

Oban looks like a beautiful hidden gem in Scotland…I’m ashamed to say that I hadn’t heard of it before reading your post! It looks like a lovely hidden gem! It looks like there are so many wonderful things to do in the area. I’d definitely make the trip to Inveraray Castle too, it looks beautiful! Thanks for the great guide!

Great to read this. I was in Oban for 2 nights last month but didn’t get to any of these places as we spent our time on day 1 driving there through the Trossachs & the 2nd day on Mull. Clearly there is loads more to see in Oban itself. Plenty of reasons to go back, so thank you! Loved the seafood there though & wondered what the Colosseum looking building on top of the hill was!

Our family visited Oban several years ago and loved it! We had a chance to go to the distillery and even wandered around in St. Columba’s Cathedral. I wish we would have had time to see Inveraray Castle, although we were there before Downton Abbey was even created. I was particularly impressed by the change in the tides in the harbor. Thanks for sharing about this lovely town. It brought back wonderful memories.

Scotland is on my bucket list of places to visit! Thanks for sharing these lesser-known areas of Scotland. I would love to visit some Scottish castles! – Briana @ Next Destination Unknown | https://www.nextdestinationunknown.com/

In reply to Ann.

I talked to my husband about your trips, and he is not so into doing a road trip to Oban – so thank you for the inspiration! 😀
