What makes Scottish Highlands & Oban Private Day Tour with Scottish Local a unique experience ?

As you head north from Glasgow you enter the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, travelling up the west coast of Loch Lomond past the famous Loch Lomond Golf Club and Inchmurrin Island.

Photo Stops are a plenty along the route north, with Luss, Firkin Point and Tarbet offering fantastic views of the Loch and the mountain Ben Lomond towering over Loch Lomond.

Nested on the banks of the stunning Loch Awe, Saint Conan’s Kirk has been providing the local community and visitors from all over the world with a most enchanting experience.

It is steeped in a family history, unconventional approaches to design and magical and almost unbelievable stories that surprise and delight those of every age.

From the road the Kirk gives few clues about the amazing architecture both inside and out. It is exceptional both in style and surroundings.

Although one of the most popular visitor attractions in Argyll, the surprising size of the Kirk means that there are days when you can feel you have the place all to yourself.

Designed and built by Walter Douglas-Campbell, the Kirk is unique in having an example of almost every style of church architecture.

There is a surprise at every turn! In addition, Walter commissioned some of the finest craftsmen to help decorate the interior. The lochside gardens offer stunning views over the Loch.

Oban Distillery takes it name from the town where the Highlands meet the Islands and nestles below the steep cliff that overlooks Oban.

This coastal location is accurately reflected by the character of the Oban 14 year old single malt whisky.

When you visit Oban Distillery you will meet the knowledgeable guides and learn about the ancient art of distilling, then enjoy a complimentary dram of the Oban 14 year old West Highland Malt.

Oban Distillery is both one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and one of the smallest with just two pot stills, Pre-dating the town of Oban, it was originally established in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson.

It underwent a refurbishment in the 1890s and there has been little change to the present buildings since then.

The distillery’s tours offer you the chance to witness the traditional craftsmanship of whisky production first-hand before enjoying complimentary drams of the Oban 14 year old West Highland Malt.

Nestled on the west coast and surrounded by miles of dramatic shores and beautiful countryside, the seaside town of Oban is a must visit.

Often called the ‘Gateway to the Isles’, many people travel to Oban as part of a west coast adventure.

Take some time to explore the town and pick up a souvenir or two.

Popular with locals and Tourists alike, FIsh and Chips while at a Seaside town is an experience not to be missed.

Once visited by Chef Rick Stein and given his seal of approval, enjoy your lunch in their restaurant or outside enjoying the views of the Firth of Lorn and the Islands of Mull, Kerra and Lismore.

Alterntives Lunch stops are available if not suitable.

McCaig’s Tower is a prominent landmark in the resort town of Oban in Argyll on Scotland’s west coast.

Built in 1897 by local banker John Stuart McCaig, the aim of the tower was to provide work for local stonemasons and a lasting monument to the McCaig family.

The climb from the town centre to McCaig’s Tower is well worth the effort when faced with the spectacular views across Oban Bay to the Atlantic Islands.

The gardens inside the tower are well maintained and are a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of town life in Oban.

Dunollie Museum, Castle & Grounds is an internationally recognised centre for Scottish culture and heritage and home of the World-Wide Clan MacDougall.

Dunollie is located about 1 mile north of Oban along the coast, in an area known to have been inhabited for at least 8,000 years.

Perched on a cliff and surrounded by stunning views across Oban Bay and the Isles is Dunollie’s medieval Castle Ruin.

In the oldest part of the Laird’s House below is a 1745 House Museum, home to a significant collection Highland Social History including Clan MacDougall material and archives.

Dunollie’s beautiful Historic Woodland Grounds surround the 1745 House and Castle Ruin and offer a place of relaxation for adults.
