SCOTLAND TRIP CONTINUED 15 MAY 2022 OBAN PORT APPIN, LYNN OF LORN WALK

 Sunday 15 May

Two nights in Oban, our first day the weather was very cloudy, a few showers in the morning while we had a wander around Oban. Walked up the steep steps to McCaig Tower built by a Banker around 1900 to give work to the stonemasons. Found Tesco for "cheap diesel" and did bit of shopping before heading back to van for lunch. Afternoon brightened up for our walk around Port Appin and saw Castle Stalker famed for Monty Python and the Holy Grail film. A lovely walk along the side of Lynn of Lorn and then a scramble down the side of an old railway bridge onto the path followed by a leap over a stream to get out as the gate at the end was locked! Rain started just as we reached the car.
