WALKERS in the habit of taking a shortcut down the side of a children’s nursery to get to Oban’s Esplanade are being told it is now a no-go zone.
People in the town have long used the path leading from the back of Corran Halls and Dunollie, through a gateway down into the grounds of the former Christchurch building, as a quick way of getting to the seafront but now it has to stop, says Jim Frew, who bought the old church three years ago and converted it into a nursery - investing around £400,000 in the project.
He said: ‘This has never been a right of way. A house belonging to the well-known McCaig family used to be on the site before the church was built here and they would not have wanted people cutting through the private grounds. Parishioners would have used it to get to the church but I bought it three years ago and this land is now part of our childcare facility.
