Scotland Day 4/Oban Day 2

I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since I last posted about my trip to Scotland and Ireland.  I wish I could say I've been busy.  I have had the case of the lazies recently.  Anyway, like I mentioned before we spent 2 days in the beautiful harbor town of Oban.  We knew we wanted to head back to Isle of Kerrera for some more hiking so we got a relatively early start (with a nutritious breakfast of waffles and ice cream!) and decided to first head a little north on our bikes to check out the museum at House at Dunollie where the servants to MacDougall Clan (does that name sound familiar?) lived and The Castle of Dunollie where the MacDougall's lived.

On our way back to Isle of Kerrera we stopped by this beach to check out some rocks and pick up some sand.  Luckily the sun came out for our second day trek a little later! 

We finally made it back to Isle of Kerrera.  Again, we got there a little later then we had hoped so we were not able to go as far as we had originally planned - this time we had a train to catch back to Glasgow.  We were so lucky to get sun on the days we planned to spend the most time outdoors.

As I may have mentioned before (I can't remember) K had been in Scotland for the past year to get her Masters in Brewing & Distilling Beer at Edinburgh University.  How cool is that?!?!  Since Oban has it's own distillery, K really wanted to tour it - which came with a complimentary scotch tasting and glass.  Cam and I were a little museum-ed/tour-ed out so we enjoyed a late lunch and beautiful scenery while Melissa and K toured the Distillery.  

Did you know that Whisky is called Scotch only when it's made in Scotland?  

Melissa and K enjoyed the Oban Distillery tour.  We had some more time to waste so we grabbed dinner and a drink before heading back on the train to Glasgow.  

Oban was beautiful and everything I imagined it would be.  I would definitely like to go back one day and spend more time touring the area.  Truly breathtaking.  

I recently discovered more photos of my trip that I thought I lost so I am excited to go through them and share them as well.  

And as a reminder, the photos with an asterisk under them are photos that are available in my Society6 shop.  

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
