Surprise in Oban!
July 5th, 2008, 9:13:19 pm
I have been to Oban several times before but I didn’t know about McCaigs Tower - a Romanesque folly on the hill overlooking the town.
I was walking through the town today when I looked up the hill, away from the harbour, and I saw what looked a little like the remains of a roman amphitheatre. I decided to investigate and walked uphill where upon I discovered Mccaigs Tower. I didn’t know what it was as there are no signs or information boards that I could find but I looked it up on the web on return to the boat.
It was built by a philanthopist in the late 19th century and nothing to do with Rome! More info at Wikiapedia.
Hi Paul.
Just come to you from an email alert.
I’m a crew member and Press Officer on the newly established RNLI Lifeboat station on Loch Ness. We’re half way up the loch between Fort Augustus and Inverness. Feel free to contact me if you are able to pop in on your run up Loch Ness. My number is 07788 414 254. I can give you some information about the area (and a Meal if you wish). We’ll put a link to your magnificent effort on our two web sites and will be following your journey from here on.
Fantastic work sir!
Greatest respect and regards.
Martin Douglas.
