5 Day Coach Holiday
This blissful holiday is based in the heart of the pretty harbour town of Oban and takes in some of Scotland’s most glorious scenery. Oban bustles with life and its harbour is busy with boats setting sail for the islands. The town boasts a level esplanade and a whisky distillery with a visitor centre as well as Dunollie Museum, Castle & Grounds. This ancient heritage site is the ancestral home of the Clan MacDougall and where you can uncover local history, explore the Laird’s House, relax in the Faerie Garden and enjoy a cuppa at the Kettle Café. McCaig’s Tower on Battery Hill is a prominent landmark and magnificent circular folly with coastal views across to the Atlantic Islands. Pulpit Hill on the south side of the bay is where you can experience stunning panoramas across the town. We make the most of our time with outings to Inveraray and Glencoe as well as the Isle of Mull and Tobermory.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.

Your Excursions
Isle of Mull & TobermoryWe set sail to the misty Isle of Mull, home to an unspoiled landscape, a rich history and an abundance of wildlife. We continue to pastel painted Tobermory where attractions include an arts centre located in a refurbished Victorian school, and a catch and release aquarium where the creatures stay for a maximum of four weeks before being returned to their home in the sea. There is also a small museum on the main street with artefacts showcasing the story of Mull, while Tobermory’s harbour is full of history and was used as a naval base during the Second World War.
Glencoe
We wind our way to Glencoe, a charming settlement and world famous location nestling within the awesome Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands. The village enjoys a picturesque location between the banks of Loch Leven and the famous glen that was carved from glaciers and fiery explosions. The area’s natural beauty has featured in movies such as Skyfall.
Inveraray
Our final outing takes us to Inveraray. Perhaps explore Inveraray Castle, a romantic fortress and the onetime ancestral seat of the Dukes of Argyll. This landmark features a fairytale façade and gorgeous gardens while the captivating interior boasts an Armoury Hall, State Dining Room and the Tapestry Drawing Room houses fine furniture, artwork and family heirlooms. Maybe you’d like to visit the award winning jail attraction, one of the best preserved prison and courtroom buildings in the world. Here you step back almost two hundred years as you view cramped cells and forms of punishment including the Whipping Table. Costumed characters portray prisoners from bygone days and act out the trials and punishments!
