Now here's a short climb that really is worth it, breathtaking 360o views of Linne of Lorn, Connel Bridge, Sound of Mull, Sound of Kerrera, Dunollie Castle and Oban Bay. One of my favourite spots.

Oban's own sandy beach, fabulous views, to Mull, Lismore and Ardnamurchan. Follow the cycle track to Dunbeg and find your way back over the hills.

The other stunning view point of Oban, watch the ferries glide though their daily dance and the bustle of Oban life on the water.

Enjoy island life with a day trip to Kerrera. The ferry ride from Gallanach just takes a few minutes, there are a variety of routes round the island on rough tracks (sturdy footwear recommended) and stunning views of Mull, the sound of Kerrera seascape, Gylen Castle and an amazing tea-room!
