The visitor can choose from a wide variety of Oban hotels or stay in some excellent guest house and bed and breakfast accommodation.

 Dominating Oban's skyline is McCaig's Tower, a colliseum-style monument which celebrated its centenary in 1997. Renowned as a popular holiday resort, Oban has a full range of attractions. Oban Distillery tempts visitors with regular tastings of its fine malt whisky as well as the excellent exhibition and tours.

Restaurants, cafes and bars abound, many with live bands and ceilidhs and, for the more energetic, swimming and other sports can be enjoyed at Atlantis Leisure.
