Watching here Paul😊
The McCaigs tower looks simply phenomenal, Wow! Thankyou!
We stopped 5 nights at the Premier Inn at Oban about 18 months ago and we loved it there. We missed a night as we had to leave for home at 03.00 in the morning when Mrs Metalman got the cold from Hell but still have very good memories of Oban and the fish n chips there, cheers Alan
What a beautiful day for a walk. We enjoyed the sights, sounds and scenery. Thank you for sharing, have a nice week. (Like 88) 👍💯
Gorgeous coastal town beautiful places to visit in Scotland my friend 😊❤️🙏👍🙏
I've never been close to Oban area so this video is a nice treat. I can enjoy a little walk from the comfort of my computer here at home.
I think my favorite area is the McCaig tower Battery hill. Wow lovely flowers at 4:00.
Hello Paul. It' so beautiful and cozy castle. The castle left in such beautiful nature is very precious. Unlike London, the landscape of Scotland are very quiet and I can feel the history.
Thank you for nice walking tour !

Oban looks beautiful. So many stone historic looking buildings everywhere. Thanks for sharing. 👍
It was quite a cool place to visit as a plan B to hiking up the mountains. I think we get a bit blase over here in the UK about old buildings at times. Thanks very much for watching. Have a great week 👍
Wow this is beautiful day for walking..honestly tge Arc wall is amazing
Scotland is one of a kind must be to visit🙏
Hi Juliana, I'm glad you enjoyed this walk around Oban. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. Have a great weekend 🙂Paul

Great video, beautiful place! Thank you for sharing! L 109
Awesome views around McCaig's Tower and the lookouts. It is very peaceful like a sanctuary. The birds singing the whole way through 👍🐦🐦 The bagpipes are amazing, I can imagine how they sounded in person. Thanks for another top notch exploration.👌👌
Such a wonderful walk. Nice green forest. Thanks for the great watch.Have a wonderful day.

Very beautifull video my friend thank you for sharing
It's very peaceful and lovely walk around Oban, Scotland. Beautiful scenery along the way 🤎👍🏼
This is breathtaking my friend, such a lovely and therapeutic atmosphere! This is absolutely stunning work!
I thought the birdsong and bagpipes were better than any chit-chat I could come up with. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching. Have a great week
Love this virtual walk, the sound of the burds, bagpipes, the aqueduct, some vibrant houses along the way. Brought back a lot of memories from my travel to Scotland in 2008. Thanks for this virtual tour. New friend🎉
Hello my friend, good offer 🌷🌿🌹❤️

Hello 👋😁🙏💙Such a lovely walkabout 😍🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌳
I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. Thanks very much for taking time to watch ❤️ Paul
This was great the kind of place I like visiting! Thanks for taking us along
Hi Dan, It's quite cool small town on the Scottish coast. A plan B wak for me but enjoyed it all the same. Tho you can't buy fish n chips in mountains. Thanks for coming along for the premiere 🙂
Thanks for this video. We were in Oban in April of this year for a couple of days. Stayed in the two-story house at 12:30 of the video. Lovely place The Barriemore.
Cheers from Texas.
You're welcome. I'm glad it brought back some memories. The house you stayed at sure looks a lovely place in a great location. Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Cheers, Paul
That is a beautiful neighborhood. I bet it must be peaceful. LIKE 63. 👍👍👍
Oban looks awesome, maybe a little town but sure has LOTS to offer. The McCaig tower was quite impressive, love how weathered everything looks and that bird song throughout was so calming. Wow, those views were just incredible to see, overlooking the town of Oban, what a stunner seeing all the way across to the Isle of Mull too. Impressive. Such lovely homes on route down to the harbour. The harbour is so picturesque 👍🏻👍🏻 as is the town. Loved the video, thank you for sharing Oban with us!
Hi Alessa, I think Oban has a larger population during the Summer with visitors but would you believe it's the largest town for miles around! i thought the birdsong was better than any chit chat I could concoct. There are even a couple of castles in Oban to explore if you ever have a mind to visit. It sure was a nice town to explore and a great plan B to hiking mountains. Thanks for coming along for the premiere, it's much appreciated. Have a great week 🙂 Paul
Wow, it's absolutly incredible. Stunning views of this great place. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed this tour of Oban. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. Have a great day, my friend 🙂👍Paul
Thanks, Paul, for this wonderful excursion! The first 5 minutes, the landscape has a fairy tale-like quality with unreal shades of green and unique buildings/structures. I liked the birds' concert. No wonder Beethoven took some of his melodies from birds' melodies. The town itself looks quite "Dutch" in style. From a distance, the bagpipes are actually quite nice to listen to. They must have very strict noise regulations over there; just imagine your neighbor practising for a concert… at 2 A.M. …. :=) Looking forward to your next project! Thumbs up! Full watch. Kind regards, Paul
Hi Paul, I think it had recently rained so it brought the greens out a bit more. I thought the sound of birdsong was a lot better than me chirping about the place. I think the bagpipes are played quite regular on the streets Oban but I think just during the day. I have a few varied videos coming up from Scotland but of course a few hiking up some of Scotland's highest mountains. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week, Paul
Amazing place. Great footage, nice video. Thank you for sharing 👍
Beautiful tour of Oban! I enjoyed seeing the lovely green trees and hearing the quiet ambience. It sounds so relaxed there.

Beautiful place Oban. Thanks for the tour Paul.
Hi Chris, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks very much for coming along the premiere. Have a great week 🙂
An outstanding tour of Scotland, the parking lot is really amazing and very unique. The Oban Harbour looks so beautiful and I am imagine spending hour sitting in one of the cozy restaurant and watch the boats... A remarkable tour of the place my friend..
Beautifully filmed and edited...very nice hike..everything's so pleasantly green..Oban looks worth visiting...Take care Paul..
Hi Michael, it was a great plan B to hiking the mountains as the weather forecast was ropey. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and the greenery. Thanks very much for watching. Have a great day 🙂 Paul
great scenery! thank you for sharing!
Thank you for taking us along, great prem ❤
Hi Jill, thanks for coming along for the premiere. Better to hear the birds singing than me 🤭 Have a great week 🙂 Paul
I have never seen an inch of Scotland that wasn’t stunning! Everything is always so green and beautiful. This is a great video showing the tremendous beauty and age of Scotland with its ancient architecture!!! Was there in 2019. Edinburgh and other surroundings. I love the old ruins. 👍And the birds sound just like they did when I visited!😊
I love visiting Scotland and when not hiking the mountains because of bad weather or forecast I do plan B trips such as this. Over here in the UK we tend to take old ruins and buildings somewhat for granted as they are fairly common place. I've actually never been to Edinburgh, well the city centre anyway. I'm glad you enjoy Scotland cos have a ton of wide ranging material to come from my recent trip including hiking up some of its highest mountains. Thanks for watching 🙂 Paul
Tur jalan kaki yang bagus
Pemandangannya indah dan menarik👍
So lush and green! Thank you for this beautiful walk! 👍👍
Beautiful Tuor, I love to see the green trees 14:46

Thank you very much, my friends 🙂👍
Beautiful place 😍
Nice walk, it ia a wonderful place! 🙂
Wow very beautiful tour of Oban
Love the scenic beauty ❤❤
Tower Battery Hill was meaningful when it was made, but it became a local landmark. There must be a lot of rocks in Oban area. Tower Battery Hill, War Monument, and Lighthouse are made of stone. I enjoyed the wonderful scenery in detail. Thank you.
This is so interesting, thank you for sharing🧡
Oban looks beautiful; so lush and green! The harbor area; seems so relaxing & hearing the bagpipes makes for a cool vibe. Fantastic views! Thanks Joking Hiker!
It was a pretty cool place to visit and the fish n chips I had were great too. I thought the birdsong and bagpipes were better than my chit-chat 🤭 I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of Oban. Thanks for watching. Have a great week 🙂 Paul

Wow... the town is full of character... so beautiful 😍... thank you for sharing ( Life In Flip Flops channel 🇨🇦)
A friend of mine lives in Oban, I promised so many times to visit him. At least I get a glimpse now of the wonderful place!
It's a lovely little town. You should get over there sometime and take the ferry to Mull. I need to do that some time myself 🙂
I love how green and quaint it looks there! Looks like it may have been raining just before you started your journey…first hearing birds now the bagpipes 😮 such a lovely hike! Beautiful little town…you know all the best places😊thanks for taking me along❤
Hi Donna, I think it had been raining prior to my arrival and hence everything being even more green. The trip to this town was a plan B to hiking up the mountains as the weather forecast wasn't great. I figured that the birdsong and the bagpipes were better than me chirping up so I kept quiet. I have a lot more to come from Scotland including hiking to the summit of some of its highest mountains. Thanks very much for taking time to watch 🙂 Paul
Oh those stairs. Beautiful place , so nice and greenery. Love those birds singing and chirping. A bit windy. Fantastic views at Oban lookout. Beautiful harbour and the boat. Wonderful walk. I really enjoyed it. All the best, Amie🇳🇿
Hi Amie, I'm glad you enjoyed this walking tour of Oban. I thought the birdsong was better than me singing. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 🙂 Paul

Hi Paul! First of all, I'm sorry neither of us was free to watch your premiere. Happy to be watching now. Lovely birdsong as you walked along - and lovely weather too. The wall with the open arches was an interesting and attractive structure. A lovely wander down to the quaint historic town. How great to hear the bagpipes playing when you got to the harbour! The coastline views were gorgeous. I loved the cute little lighthouse with its views of the castle. A really beautiful walk - thank you for the tour 👍😊❤
Hi Julie n Lucy, that's cool tho I do wish there was 2 of me at times. Having said that lots of people are glad there isn't 🤭 I'm glad you enjoyed this tour of Oban. I figured the birdsong and bagpipes sounded better than any chit-chat I could come up with 🙂 It's a lovely little town to explore that serves up great fish n chips. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. Have a great day 🙂 Paul
Wow such a beautiful place to see my friend
Great! Loved the place where the memorial was.
I love your walk through , the scenery is so beautiful, thank you for sharing your awesome video, blessings
What a lovely day to explore Oban. The views of the harbor from the overlook are just lovely. Looks like a cute little town too. I liked that old lighthouse. Happy Thursday!
Hi Anita, the weather turned out nicely after being a grim early that morning. This is actually the largest town for miles around but plenty to explore. I'm glad you enjoyed the sights of Oban. Thanks very much for taking time to watch. It's nearly the weekend 🙂 Paul
Good morning my friend WOW so beautiful place thank you for sharing full watching from Philippines

Hi Paul, the walls are gigantic. The park is beautifully landscaped and the view is amazing. Nice town with the old buildings. The bagpipes should not be missing either. Thanks. We wish you a good day. Greetings Alex and Alex
