No Experience Required
You step out of the Oban tourist office before dawn and the van breathes a warm puff of engine life into the cool salt air. Windows fog, tea steams in paper cups, and within half an hour the coastal town dissolves into a road that climbs toward the high country. The hills close in: dark basalt ridges, tongues of waterfall, and a sky the color of pewter. The guide—born and bred in Argyll—points to a ruin, a roadside chapel, and a scattering of cairns, narrating clan politics like a plotline in an old novel.
