Day 20 – Oban

Today is the first day of heavy rain, it continues to pour as i head down the coast towards Oban.

I arrive at Fort William and Ben Nevis is covered in cloud and can’t be seen, the wet roads are slippery and it is evident that the Hyundai does not like twisty water soaked roads.

Fortunately the rain eases shortly before arriving at Oban and after checking into the hotel it is out for a bit of exploring. The main things in town are the Oban Distillery, the tour lasts for about an hour and is very interesting, they are one of the smallest distillery in Scotland and only have 2 stills, having said that they still are able to produce 1 million bottles of 14 year old whiskey a year. After the tour it is of to McCaigs Tower to get a panoramic view of the town it is a steep climb to the top but the view is worth it.
