June 16, 2017 by Susan Clarke
- Caught the 9:45 ferry to Kennacraig…
…where Alex & Barbara awaited us…
Alex, Barbara & Us on Pulpit Hill
…for the scenic 2 hour drive…
…back to their home.
- Met them on our “Slow Boat to Singapore Cruise” in 2016!
Our View From Alex’s Backyard
- Oban is on the west coast…
…and southern part of the Scottish Highlands.
- Had a lovely time exploring the sights…
built to look like the coliseum in Rome &…
…Pulpit Hill …
…with it’s panoramic views of the city & bay…
…and of course we had to check out the local pub!
FUN-fact – McCaig’s Tower, a folly and prominent local landmark, was constructed between 1897 and 1902.His intention was to provide a lasting monument to his family, and provide work for the local stonemasons during the winter months.
