Oban

After driving from Stirling to the House of Bruar, then from there through the Trossachs National Park for about 3 hours, we finally arrived in our destination of Oban. Oban is a coastal town on the western edge of Scotland.

The view of the harbor at night. It was a very pretty town, too bad my camera can't capture the image that we saw.

Neil's parents waiting for our table to be ready at an amazing seafood restaurant. Neil and I had not eaten that well in a long time.

The next morning we made our way to the McCaig Monument which overlooks the town of Oban. A very rich Mr. McCaig commisioned this monument to be built not only to honor his family but to provide the unemployed local men with jobs during the winter months.

The view from here was amazing. I believe you can see the Island of Mull in the distance.

A nice photo of the voyagers.
