The port of Craignure is the terminus of the crossing between Oban on the Scottish mainland and the Isle of Mull. Situated on the east coast, the port sits just off the A849 in between Scallastle Farm to the north and Lochdon to the south. Pay and display parking is available outside the terminal, whereas free parking can be found just a couple of hundred metres down the road. There is also a bus shelter and taxi rank opposite the building. The village has a population of roughly two hundred and boasts two magnificent castles, called Torosay and Duart, which are well worth seeing. The former was completed in the 19th Century whereas the latter dates back to the 1200s.
Regarded as the seafood capital of Scotland, Oban is the largest town in Argyll on the west coast, offering routes to almost all of the Hebridean Islands. Inside the terminal building, you will find an excellent range of refreshments, a large waiting area and toilet facilities. The port is within easy reach from most Scottish cities, with a number of roads serving the area. If driving from Inverness, simply follow the A82 southbound, whereas if you are coming from Glasgow, head north on the A82. The Oban railway station is situated just fifty metres from the terminal alongside a few bus stops, making it even easier to travel to ‘the gateway to the isles’. In Oban, award-winning seafood restaurants come in abundance, so an exquisite meal is never too far away. The town also boasts some spectacular historic monuments, namely McCaig’s tower, an impressive circular structure overlooking the coast.
