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.

We arrived an hour before the train was scheduled to pass. We thought there was no way we'd see it, but the hike up took so long that we stuck around and it was worth the wait! There are two pathways. There's a quick view point behind the visitor center or a longer hike to the left. The hike can go as long as you'd like. We went to the viewpoint just above the tracks but you can go all the way to the station if you want! If you're able, it's absolutely worth making the climb. It isn't hard but it's best to have shows that can sustain some mud and water. The views were breathtaking and it was amazing to see the train pass through!

Glenfinnan Viaduct (in operation over 120 years as of writing this in 2023) is built between hills…read moreon the Scotland highlands landscape. A trail leads up by the viaduct and has flatter parts where one can stand or sit on a rock and watch the trains travel past. I watched a few trains travel past and spent a little over an hour here on Monday 15 July 2019. The number of viewers increased until an old-school/nostalgia train (red and black style from the 1970s and before) whistled as it made its way past. My first time to the viaduct, I came in the afternoon and found parking was backed up along the road about a mile from the main small parking lot. I decided to do something else and return later in the day. When I returned, around 6:20 p.m., I found parking in the lot and made my way towards the viaduct. Finding my way, I managed to get stung by nettles for the first time. A main paved roadway led to a path up past the viaduct. An information board at the parking lot area provided a map of the trails and other area-specific information. Warning sign(s) along the trail reminded visitors of fines for trespassing in certain areas. The blowing of the whistle of the trains as they approached and crossed the viaduct is something I remember to this day, Saturday 20 May 2023. I would guess such striking imagery is why that particular imagery was fitted into scenes in movies, television, and fantasy book series. Twas constructed decades before the conception of the "Harry Potter" series/franchise and inspired its creator to such an extent that they actually even decided to film here. Even some of the colours of the train lines operating across the viaduct were taken and incorporated into the fantasy series. Always interesting to see (and in this case both literally see and hear) how real-life places inspire fictional enterprises.

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.

It has a beautiful garden space in the center that is well maintained.
