IT’S all happening in Oban Bay these days with our new transit marina and boats and ships of all shapes and sizes coming and going, writes Oban ambassador Kay MacDonald.
One of the greatest pleasures of my job is seeing the constant activity in the bay and knowing that it’s going to transfer to the town. Whether it’s passengers from the ferries, fishing boats tying up or cruise ship passengers coming ashore, it all adds to the buzz.
During the past few years I’ve noticed that we have more ships dropping off and picking up passengers in the town, which is great. It shows that we have the transport links required and, for many of the passengers, it will mean a stay in the town either before they board for their trip or on their return before they head off home and, having spoken to quite a few, I know that often they extend their holiday with a few days in Oban.
