Oban is a large town and port in Argyll, opposite to the Island of Mull. It developed in the 19th century with the establishment of steamer services to the Inner and Outer Hebrides and the advent of the railways, becoming a very popular summer resort, with impressive mid to late 19th century hotels. The incomplete, Colosseum-like McCaig’s Tower above the town, known as McCaig’s folly, was begun in 1897 as a project to help the unemployed and celebrate the family of John Stewart McCaig, a local
banker. The finest individual building is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St Columba on Corran Esplanade, built 1932—53 to designs by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The Argyllshire Gathering is held here annually in late summer.
