With some days still available on ou Britrail Pass we chose to do a tour of the Western Highlands today. We tried to plan a trip to Malliag and Fort William but that proved too far so we went to Oban, which is on the coast near The Mull and Iona. It proved to be one of the most beautiful train trips we have done. It took us alongside several Lochs including Lomond, past many hills which would be completely covered in snow in winter and through a narrow pass between the mountains. Oban was a very lovely little town with a busy ferry service to the islands and a huge tower built by McCaig in 1900. On the way home we saw a beautiful village next to a lake. Next best thing to a trip through Canada.
