Original – Oban Bay from McCaig's Tower. The bay is sheltered by the island of Kerrera. Behind lies the Isle of Mull.

Support. Oban is a busy port serving the islands. This high-resolution view shows how Oban bay is sheltered by Kerrera, and includes a number of landmarks in the town including the rail and ferry terminals, the north harbour, marina and St Columba's Cathedral. The Commons image has annotations. Sorry the weather isn't sunnier, but this is absolutely typical for Oban. -- Colin°^Talk 11:50, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment beautiful picture, but I can't help but wonder if the picture would give a better view of Oban if it were taken from the other side of the body of water. It feels that we are looking at the backs of all the buildings. Just my instinct, there could very well be a good reason it was taken from this side.

- There are lots viewpoints with their merits. Oban isn't imo the most attractive town. It is known as the "gateway to Islands" - in other words, people go there in order to get to somewhere else. And this viewpoint looks out to the "somewhere else". Colin°^Talk 15:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
