We used this car park recently before realising that some of the other car parks in the town are…read moretotally free! This one costs £2.50 for up to 3 hours or up to 12 for £5 (no concessions for disabled blue badge holders). On the plus side it's within easy walking distance of the town centre and harbour and it's at street level so no stairs, accessible to all. The man who was taking the money was friendly and gave us helpful directions to some places we were looking for.

I've been here quite a few times throughout the years of visiting Oban. Honestly there's not much…read moreto it but a nice place to see. Something you should at least do once whenever you're in Oban. You could actually walk up, a little trek but nice. It's not far from the harbor. The walk takes you through the cute little neighborhood before reaching the top. Or, you could drive. Whatever is easiest. Once your you're reach it, there's a small parking lot with some home surrounding. It's a small amphitheater that has one of the best views of the harbor. I'm not quite sure if any events are held here like weddings and sort. But checking it out and seeing what's it's all about is quite nice. The large lookout is quite cool for pictures. There's a grassy knoll inside with a path and some benches. But if you walk through some of archway, you have the million dollar view of the town, harbor and island. We didn't spend much time as it was freezing and the wind sure didn't help....lol... They do have lights that shine out to enhance the tower which is quite nice. A nice stroll or a little break is always nice and to have a view like that, it's beautiful. Just taking the scenery in was spectacular. You don't need to spend a lot of time here but it's worth checking out. The views alone, totally worth it.

Worth the visit for the stunning views of Oban Bay! You can…read morewalk up from town or drive up the narrow roads where there is a parking lot just below McCaigs Tower with steps leading up. Built in 1897 by John Stuart McCaig, it immediately resembles the Roman Coliseum to most as it can also be seen when you look up from the town. It has a beautiful garden space in the center that is well maintained.

There is not much to dislike about the Oban Ferry Terminal. It is located right next to the train…read morestation for an easy transfer. There is an information desk inside for Oban as well as a ticket counter. I was travelling with my dog and everything about the place was very dog friendly. There is a nice big indoor ramp that bridges over to the ferry so you don't get slammed by rain entering and exitting by a ladder like at other ports. And there are lovely views of the bay in Oban, with great little shops and restaurants. Oban is not a bad place to get stuck either, if you miss a transfer. People are very friendly and I hear there is a good distillery in town.

When I've been here in the past there was an old ticket office & waiting room with a vending…read moremachine that served your instant tea & dried instant Knorr soup. In recent years there has been a lot of renovation to the building to bring the look to the 21st century, modern ticket office & heated waiting room, comfortable seating but plastic plants, what could be missing? Coffee machine - well they got rid of that for health & safety reasons. Wifi - well forget that one, would be quicker sending message by pigeon, the area is like a black hole for any type of phone signal that brands all phones useless. There is a television in the waiting room but it shows nothing worth viewing unless you like constant adverts. Toilets are there but you now have to pay for them 40p, they do have disabled toilets & baby changing rooms that are free.
