      It's a great wee town full of great pubs and places to get some amazing seafood...fresh off the boats. I'll def be back but next time it's off of a ferry to one of those amazing islands. Thanks for watching and supporting as always. Take care 👍😃👍🥃🥃

    Oban ❤... I've been many times. From childhood holidays. Several backpackers hostel's and wild camping on the shore for a few weeks, sharpening my survival skills, living off the land, and sea.
    Even done it on a Vespa.Nice capture Scott.

      Hi sir. Hope your well. I hadn't been since I was wee and don't remember much of it so it was nice go and felt like I was making new memories. Sounds like you know every inch of Oban and to do it backpacking, living off the land and sea sounds amazing. Brave stuff. I wouldn't be able to deal with that for long periods of time tbh. Sounds like you have some amazing stories and adventures there. Do you go camping often? I don't think Oban has a camp site but could be wrong. Ill need to get my tent and the kitchen sink set out this year as well. Taking a motorbike on a tour with a tent sounds magic. Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have many more great experiences in that part of the world. Speak soon. Ps I have a few wee bonus videos in Oban coming soon. Take care 👍😃👍🥾🥾⛺️🎒🥃🥃

      @ScottsLand Yes Scott, I've done lots of camping and still do.
      Done it In all 4 countries of the UK, and several in Europe. I do use campsites , also wild camping.

    Hi Scott great introduction to Oban it's really geared up for tourism now, used to go out in the trawlers up the sound of Mull Scuba diving back in those days did a good job of the video Scott caught the flavour of the place.Looks like you were pretty lucky with the weather wasnt stormy only a wee bit of rain which we are quite used to lol and a perfect way to end the day with a nice malt 👍🥾🥾🥃

    • @ScottsLand

      It really is a tourist hot spot. The shops and accommodation is all geared for that side of things. Next time I'm up there I'll be jumping on a ferry to have a look at one of those amazing islands. Wow I didn't know you were a scuba diver. That is so cool. I would love to dive in certain places. I did a trial once a loved it. It's a different world down there. Do you still dive now? Do you teach it? I think I might do some snorkeling this year. If you have any diving videos you should show them off. You should change yoir channel name ro Walk Hooe Hike Scuba lol. It would be great to hear some of the places you dived. Thanks for watching. Speak soon sir. 👍😃👍🥃🥃🥾🥾🎒🤿🤿

Cracking wee place and not short of a place for a pint or 2 lol. Next time I'll jump on a boat I think and take on an island. Great fun and more adventures to follow. Speak soon sir 👍😃👍🥃🥃🥾🥾

      @ScottsLand we'll definitely check out your videos and enjoy the sights from your beautiful country. We're in the process of posting our own videos from our road trip there (with many more yet to be shared). If ever we have a second chance of a lifetime to come back, we'd love to see Scotland again! ❤️

      @OldHouseOnTheCorner I'm def going to checkout your channel. Always nice to see how tourists and visitors feel and look upon these places. Scotland is full of history and great wee places away from the main cities so these is always somewhere to go and see. Scotland is here and waiting for you guys to visit again. 👍😃👍🥃🥃

      It's a great wee place..plenty of places for a dram lol. Next time I'm up there I think I might just hop on a wee boat and do an island. There will be more from my Oban adventure later. Its a good base with a street full of b&bs and hostels and hotels. So a wee dram and a boat to an island...bring it on ⛺️🥃🥃🥾🥾👍😃👍
