This is an excellent overview of the Oban area from prehistoric times to present. David was excellent guide! All major sites were discussed so you could pick which ones you wanted to go see in more depth. David has a lot of knowledge about the area.

A warm welcome from David, started a very informative and interesting 90 or so minutes, the weather was a tad damp to say the least but David's enthusiasm and knowledge, made it barely noticeable. This should be on everyone's list. Many thanks.
