Activities to visit, in and around the town, include the fish quay, Oban Rare Breeds Park and the working Oban distillery together with leisure & recreation at the indoor facility at Atlantis and the outdoor pursuits of golf, tennis and fishing.

Taynuilt village is situated some twelve miles north of Oban, but can be reached from Kilmore, via the rugged but beautiful Glen Lonan. On arriving in the village the antique shop, tea room and historic Bonawe furnace are well worth a visit before considering a boat trip on Loch Etive to view seals on rocks and eagles soaring amid the spectacular mountain scenery.

Glencoe is well known in Scottish history for the infamous massacre of members of the clan MacDonald. Dark and mysterious with mist rolling on the mountains or sunny and clear allowing the magnificence of the glen to be appreciated. The round trip from Oban should return through Glen Orchy with its famous salmon fishing river and striking water falls.

Kilmartin Glen is also well worth visiting, with its standing stones and carvings, giving an insight to the people and way of life some 4000 years ago. Visit Dunadd hill where the Kings of Scotland were crowned before completing your experience at the Museum.

Further down the road, you will be able to recognise the well known Crinan canal where the rest of the day can be spent in fascination with the operation of the locks to allow the yachting and shipping fraternity access to the open sea.

Seil Island and the villages of Balvicar and Ellenabeich and the small island of Easdale are famous for their one time production of slate - 'the slates that roofed the World'. On the island is an award winning museum explaining the history of the islands and their people - these historic villages are in the traditional style of the time, but allow for visitor comforts with adequate shopping, restaurants and visitor attractions.

On the way to Seil, you must cross the famous Bridge over the Atlantic and arrive outside the 'Tigh-an-Truish Inn' (House of the trousers), an eighteenth century hostelry which, before the building of the bridge, allowed for the islanders to change their attire when visiting the mainland, (the wearing of the kilt in mainland Scotland was prohibited).

These are a few of the many attractions that are available in this spectacular and wonderful part of Argyll.
