Oban, a charming resort town in Scotland, is nestled in the picturesque Firth of Lorn. Known for its stunning bay and views of Kerrera and Mull islands, Oban attracts tourists during the summer months, swelling its population to over 24,000. With a history dating back to Mesolithic times, Oban evolved from a small fishing village to a bustling hub for tourism and ferry services to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Its maritime climate, cool summers, and mild winters make it a popular destination for visitors seeking a peaceful coastal getaway.
