Oban Bay, Sea Wall.

Oban Bay, Sea Wall.
Oban bay and George Street, with (MaCaig's Tower Note 1) also known as McCaig's Folly,[2] is a prominent tower on Battery Hill[3] overlooking the town of Oban in Argyll, Scotland. It is built of Bonawe granite taken from the quarries across Airds Bay, on Loch Etive, from Muckairn, with a circumference of about 200 metres (660 ft) with two-tiers of 94 lancet arches (44 on the bottom and 50 on top). It is a Grade B Listed historic monument. (wkipedia)

And the Oban Distillery, (Note 2) a link to a fascinating video if you have the time to watch,
www.obanwhisky.com/distillery ( You may need to click the home buttton)

Oban is also a major ferry terminal mainly for the islands of the inner Hebrides

Finally, a whisky song www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPin6munNyA

Large if you please, And HWW

Not sure if I have ever visited Oban in sunshine like this but your shot here proves that it does happen. An excellent capture of this famous frontage with the Roman type arena on the hill. I have a feeling that the building on the front with a big wide first floor window was the venue for the Scottish folk music and meal nights that we enjoyed. Great work.

HWW, enjoy the day.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you, Herb, I am fairly sure you are correct re the music venue,
And I thought the sun always shone in Oban;-)))

A very attractive looking waterfront with a varied range of buildings.........all very well captured in superb detail and colour.

The tower looks quite interesting...........and the view from up there must be fantastic, but I expect the most popular attraction is the distillery!

The name of one of shops has me me smile "Thistle do Nicely". :-)))

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Terrific comments again Keith, thank you
The town has interesting narrow streets and some lovely buildings
re the view from the tower, I found this oldie from 2013 B0073443 But I am sure we have made the assent again since then,
A great shop name I agree

Super shot and a nice reminder of a visit aeons ago. Sadly, I couldn't get past the censor for watching a link on alcohol. Something about my birth year (1958) not being a recognised year from Spain. No I don't get it either!
