"If you google ‘Oban’ and look at the images, chances are, you’ll see pictures featuring McCaig’s Tower or being taken from McCaig’s Tower. McCaig’s Tower is a prominent landmark in Oban that looks like a smaller version of the Colosseum in Rome. It lies on the top of a hill and it takes around 10 minutes to get to the tower. Once up there, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the town and the surrounding islands. "
