Local skipper Allan Strang invites you..... on a one hour journey starting from Oban's Railway Pier next to the train station. Aboard "MV Purple Heather" you sail across Oban Bay past Dunollie Castle and Hutchinson's Monument on Kerrera to the seal colony in the Firth of Lorne to include open views on Mull and Lismore. Along the way there's an abundance of wildlife to spot like all kinds of sea

birds, of course seals basking in their natural unspoilt surroundings, and here and there even dolphins - all set in the beautiful and stunning scenery of the Scottish West Coast. Allan's commentary throughout will give you a good insight in local, history and nature aspects spiced with a few good laughs and anecdotes. Prices 2022: £14 Adults), £6 (Children), Family & Group Discounts

Another new born pup and the happy mother chilled out feeding the pup with us right beside her, perfect example of how the interactions with seals should go. 😄

Two regular visitors to Oban in the summer, The Flying Dutchman the white tall ship, been sailing the ocean since 1903… makes her 121 years old!

Then there is Kentra with the white hull, her hull is planked with teak/pitch pine with sawn oak frames inside built in 1923, she was built by William Fife & Son of Fairlie, lovely classic sailing ship, she was built to a very high standard

A decent number of seals for the time of year counted about 50 earlier, a clan gathering before pupping season 🦭
