Regarded as the seafood capital of Scotland, Oban is the largest town in Argyll on the west coast, offering routes to almost all of the Hebridean Islands. Inside the terminal building, you will find an excellent range of refreshments, a large waiting area and toilet facilities. The port is within easy reach from most Scottish cities, with a number of roads serving the area. If driving from Inverness, simply follow the A82 southbound, whereas if you are coming from Glasgow, head north on the A82. The Oban railway station is situated just fifty metres from the terminal alongside a few bus stops, making it even easier to travel to ‘the gateway to the isles’. In Oban, award-winning seafood restaurants come in abundance, so an exquisite meal is never too far away. The town also boasts some spectacular historic monuments, namely McCaig’s tower, an impressive circular structure overlooking the coast.
The Tiree ferry terminal is the westernmost port of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, sitting on the island’s east coast. As the island’s primary port, it provides frequent crossings to the Isle of Coll immediately to the northeast, and to Oban on the mainland. The terminal can be found just off the B8068 on Pier Road to the northeast of Scarinish, the main settlement on Tiree. Free parking is available outside the terminal building and, inside, you’ll find a spacious waiting area with seats and toilet facilities. This particular area is famed for its Gaelic architecture, so be on the lookout for the fascinating black houses, a traditional thatched home for both families and cattle, during your stay.
