Pity you weren't at the Falls of Lora when they were running. They are a sight to behold.

We were in Oban on the same day on a shopping trip, you caught our car on camera. We never really noticed the weather as thats a normal day in Argyll 😂. George street fish and chips are the best in Oban. Try Tarbert if you like smaller places.

Love Oban, used to stay here for a few nights when we were doing our yearly scuba diving trip. We then started staying up the sound of Mull in Tobermory, as it was easier to reach the wreck sites. Oban has a great nightlife, a lot of local pubs mainly used by the locals, as has Tobermory. Great videos, keep em coming.

Hi James, thanks for taking me to Oban again, after many years, I don't remember a lot about the place other than the water area with the boats, and a photo of me and my late Husband, looking so much younger, liked your photo of your younger self too. Anyway enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next one. 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍 X

did the boat trip , seen lots of seals basking on rocks and "fish farms" my most vivid memory of Oban was a seagull swooped and nicked the ice cream from my cone there. was pretty bad for seagulls at the time. didn't see or hear any in this video so perhaps its only certain times of the year?

That brought back some memories from 30 years ago when I first went to Inverary and Oban. We used to go in the George for a drink and the food was good too. Oban was just a place to get the ferry from to Mull and doesn’t have much else going for it to be honest. Really enjoyed this vlog so thank you for sharing. I absolutely love Scotland and hopefully you do too. Ignore the negative idiots on here, you’re great 😊
