Dog-friendly Holidays in Oban
This thriving coastal community has everything from historic distilleries and ancient castles to a bustling harbour and spotless sandy beaches. And with dolphins, basking sharks, whales, otters and porpoises around Oban's extensive coastline, who knows which marine life you might spot whilst out for a walk in the hills?
A trip to the overgrown ruins of Dunollie Castle is a must, with the surrounding Witches Woods and Dunollie trail being perfect for letting your pooch explore at their own pace off the lead.

Staying inland, the town itself has plenty to do and see, with distilleries that make some of the world's most famous scotch, interesting architecture like McCaig's Tower, and dog-friendly food spots like MacGillivrays Seafood.
