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.
