St. Columba's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church building. The building, designed in a modern neo-Gothic style, is located in the west of the city directly on Oban Bay. In 1971, St. Columba's Cathedral was added to the Scottish monument list in the highest category A. The church is still in use as such today. The architect responsible for the planning was Giles Gilbert Scott, who designed the Liverpool Cathedral, Waterloo Bridge and Battersea Power Station as well as the famous red telephone boxes in Great Britain.

Oban Distillery & Visitor Centre

Highlight • Monument

Oban Distillery is both one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and one of the smallest with just two pot stills. Pre-dating the town of Oban, it was originally established in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson. It underwent a refurbishment in the 1890s and there has been little change to the present buildings since then. The distillery's tours offer visitors the chance to witness the traditional craftsmanship of whiskey production first-hand before enjoying complimentary drams of the Oban 14 year old West Highland Malt
