Oban
- the gateway to the Western Isles is Argyll's principal town and
is 16 miles from Luing. From here there are boat and steamer trips
to many islands including the well-known destinations of Mull, Iona
and Staffa. Oban has a wide range of leisure facilities, including
a modern sports centre that provides a swimming pool, water slide,
tennis courts and climbing wall. An 18-hole golf course is also
found in the town. There is a wide range of restaurants, a whisky
distillery, a cinema, a visitors centre and even a small privately
owned zoo, the owners of which are extremely informative and will
allow some of the animals to be handled. |
