“Robert was a decent guide. He knew the history but lacked the overall depth of details. Having said that we enjoyed the tour very much. The van held 12 ‘crammed’ passengers. The lunch was on the pier at some picnic benches, which was fine since it was a good weather day. The food was good.”

Both are talented sailors and Laura a particularly talented chef. The day was a complete joy, sailing the waters around Oban and feasting like royalty. If they have…”
A 2-hour Oban evening walk with war-and-peace stops plus cathedral calm, ending at The View for a three-dram whisky tasting.
