Oban: Walking Tour and Distillery Visit

Experience the charm of Oban with a guided walking tour that takes you through its historic sites and scenic viewpoints. End your journey with a visit to Oban Distillery, where you'll explore Scotland's whisky heritage and enjoy a tasting session.

Start your walking tour of Oban right from the pier. Begin with a climb up to McCaig’s Tower, a historic landmark built by a local banker to offer winter work for stonemasons. The effort to reach the top is rewarded with stunning views of Oban’s busy harbor and nearby islands.
As you make your way back down to the seafront, visit St. Columba’s Cathedral. This Roman Catholic cathedral, which serves as the seat of the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, features a striking pink Peterhead and blue Inverawe granite exterior, while the interior is more understated.

The tour reaches its highlight at Oban Distillery, one of the smallest and oldest distilleries in Scotland. Here, you'll be guided through the whisky-making process, from fermentation to maturation. Learn about the rich heritage and tradition behind this iconic Scottish spirit. No visit to the distillery would be complete without a tasting session—raise a glass and say "Slainte!" to savor the distinct flavors of Oban’s renowned whisky.

After the distillery visit, enjoy some free time to explore the town of Oban at your own pace, or return to the pier with your guide.
