Oban is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of
Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh
and Fort William and during the tourist season the town can play host to up to
25,000 people. Oban occupies a beautiful setting in the Firth of Lorn. The bay
is a near perfect horseshoe, protected by the island of Kerrera, and beyond
Kerrera the Isle of Mull. To the north is the long low island of Lismore, and
the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour
