To the south is Kilmartin Glen, an area rich in historical legacy, offering over 350 ancient monuments to find and explore. The marvellous countryside, stunning scenery and sea views provide great opportunities to spot wildlife; deer are on the hillside, eagles soaring high in the sky and seals bobbing in the sea.
Argyll is fantastic for walkers and climbers with many hill and mountain ranges within the area. For cycling enthusiasts, there are miles of forestry tracks to explore. Coastal walks provide great bird watching opportunities, places to launch a canoe/kayak or try your hand at a spot of sea fishing. There are a number of local golf courses within easy reach.

A wonderful property with a view of the harbour everything that you could wish for was in the apartment including a lovely starter pack which was very welcome. A word of caution the property is situated overlooking the town which involves a short but fairly steep climb.

We have just returned home from a lovely stay at Finlaggan Apartment. It was perfectly located, just a short walk to the centre of Oban and also McCaig Tower and the leisure centre. Fiona was super helpful with local recommendations and the apartment was lovely, clean and well equipped for all of our needs. There were also lovely extra touches like milk and tea and coffee, fresh flowers and some fudge/biscuits left for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would love to be back one day.
