I was a bit lost as to where I wanted to go, possibly back in the Highlands or south to Burns country.<br \/>\nI spent some time in the tourist bureau flipping through pamphlets and spontaneously picked an area and town then grabbed a bus ticket to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oban.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oban<\/a>. This is also one area that I did not research before leaving Canada so everything about it was literally a new adventure.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I got out of the 3 hour bus ride here and stepped onto the pavement in Oban, I fell in love, well that may be a strong word but really felt at home, this is a very beautiful town and recommend it, also as they say it is the &#8220;Gateway to the isles&#8221;. I was originally going to stay one night here and the following nights in a small town on Mull, but people here said its best to stay here and just take day trips to the isles. I found a small tours office and booked a couple of day trips.<\/p>\n<p>I walked around town, it is pretty windy, well it&#8217;s really not pretty, just bloody windy and cold. But that won&#8217;t put a damper on my happy mood. I am hungry so I stop at a really nice seafood restaurant. I chat up with some locals wondering where I am from and what brought me here, especially eating in a restaurant by myself and a town I know no one. I must say, it feels quite liberating to be on my own here. I am then invited for drinks later on by my new found friends. People are very charming here!<\/p>\n<p>The photos below are from my first half day in Oban and my full day on isle of Mull, Iona and Staffa.<\/p>\n<p>Links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Oban\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oban.org.uk\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oban<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Oban\" href=\"http:\/\/www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk\/oban\/oban\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Undiscovered Oban<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Caledonian MacBrayne ferry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.calmac.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caledonian MacBrayne ferry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Isle of Mull\" href=\"http:\/\/www.explore-isle-of-mull.co.uk\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isle of Mull<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"isle of Iona\" href=\"http:\/\/www.isle-of-iona.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isle of Iona<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Iona Abbey\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sacred-destinations.com\/scotland\/iona-abbey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iona Abbey<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Staffa\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scotland-inverness.co.uk\/staffa.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Staffa<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Click image or link to view Gallery in Picasa<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 194px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"height: 194px; background: url('http:\/\/picasaweb.google.ca\/s\/c\/transparent_album_background.gif') no-repeat left;\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.ca\/meliesanchez\/ScotlandTrip09Part11ObanMullStaffaIona?authkey=Gv1sRgCIOiwLX8laGMew&amp;feat=embedwebsite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 1px 0 0 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_cBHD0U6526I\/SsAF1GUp-CE\/AAAAAAAADYI\/FtjXDRdV0XM\/s160-c\/ScotlandTrip09Part11ObanMullStaffaIona.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.ca\/meliesanchez\/ScotlandTrip09Part11ObanMullStaffaIona?authkey=Gv1sRgCIOiwLX8laGMew&amp;feat=embedwebsite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scotland Trip 09 &#8211; Part 11: Oban, Mull, Staffa, Iona<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Next up&#8230; <a title=\"Scotland Trip: Part 12\" href=\"http:\/\/dreamagery.com\/blog\/travel\/scotland-2009\/828\/scotlandtrip12\/\">Scotland Trip: Part 12<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to Scotland Trip 2009 September\u00a08-9 (Oban, Isle of Mull, Iona, Staffa) While in Glasgow, I decided I wanted to take a few day trips outside the city.
