[Kaa]

Some images from Oban, a ferry port and a fishing harbor on the western coast of Scotland.

Oban harbor is quite busy:

Lovely pictures, thanks Kaa.

Not Oban, but not all that far away, at Barra --

I love this photo. It would be hard to find a snugger berth along a rocky coastline for a vessel this size.

I was wondering what Oban in Scotland looked like.......so it's a ferry and fishing port?

So is this but on a much smaller scale I suspect (pop 400)
Thanks for all the photos.

Great photos! Thanks. Scotland has been on my list, and it looks like I need to move it up a notch or two... :)
