Left Glasgow and traveled the winding roads to Oban. There is a shorter way, but we wanted to see the scenery which didn’t disappoint. We traveled along the length of Loch Lomand and stopped at a tourist scenic cruise. Typical lake cruse on a small boat and it started raining pretty good. They did serve tea and coffee and shortbread. This seems to be a custom where ever we go. After that, we stopped at a 500 year old Pub called the Dover Inn. It didn’t seem like much had changed! It was so old. Smelled old, looked old, was old with heads and bodies of old animals who were once hunted. We had Mac and cheese and it was the best I have ever eaten! Oh…and beer.
We continued to Oban, which was bustling with tourists when we arrived. It is nestled on a beautiful bay and reminded me so much of Port Townsend. Lots of little shops, and lots of seafood. Small street that cars get back up on this time of year. After checking in and getting settled we took a small van to a Barn outside of town (another very old place) and had dinner at the Barn Bar. Quirky and fun, but good food. They had small cottages for rent also.
