Oban.

Only two galleries left in Scotland! Oban, and Glasgow! Then we're going to take a nice break from Whiskey trips and I'll put up my NM photos from this last trip. :)



Oban is a coastal city, full of maritime traffic and swans and gorgeous views of Scotland's many islands. It is also windy, rainy and quite cold. Or it was when we were there.




So beautiful when they're silent.


Walking by the sea.


The town, and the coliseum built in 1897, Macraigs Tower.


A church in the hillside.


Looking out at the islands.


Swans!


Inside the pub...money from everywhere!


The slice of view we got from our expensive and crappy hotel room.

Haha, I think I'm the only person who likes seagulls and pidgeons (when they're noisy). ;)

Gorgeous pics as always, and that pub looks so cool!

I freaking hate pigeons! Sky rats! They eat garbage!

I wouldn't do anything to hurt them, but I've been known to chase them away :)

Haha, a lot of things eat garbage! Dogs eat poo ;)
They're just colourful doves :)

Also, I fear the bird poo. Whenever a huge flock of seagulls or pigeons is around, I am just waiting to get splattered. *shudder*

And the pub was freaking AWESOME. With YUMMY cider. I miss good cider. Everything here is so flipping sweet. Yech.

I love cider too, but not the super sweet stuff.

Right! And most of the stuff we get here is really really sweet. Strongbow being the exception, but it seriously gives me headaches.
