Oban & Isle of Mull

Where the Western Highlands meet the sea, Oban and Isle of Mull offer two faces of coastal Scotland's untamed beauty. Oban's horseshoe harbor bustles with fishing boats and ferry whistles, its Victorian waterfront crowned by a coliseum-inspired tower watching over the gateway to the isles. Across the sound, Isle of Mull rises wild and mysterious – a mosaic of rocky shores and rolling hills where white-tailed eagles soar above hidden beaches, colorful Tobermory houses reflect in harbor waters, and ancient castles stand guard over kelp-strewn bays.
