For farming enthusiasts, Oban is home of the most prestigious Highland cattle sales in Scotland.
Each year, under the auspices of the Highland Cattle Society, Oban Livestock Centre hosts a spring bull sale with buyers flying in from all over Europe to bid for top quality Highland cattle to improve their own folds, followed by a great female show and sale in October, which also brings buyers from all over Europe.
The 120th annual Highland Cattle Autumn Show will takes place at Oban Livestock Centre, Upper Soroba, on Sunday October 8, followed by the sale on Monday October 9, with both events starting at 10am.
