Oban: Gateway to the Isles, and the unofficial capital of the West Highlands. Visited by tourists from around the world for its stunning vistas and re Streamdays client: Oban and Lorn Tourism Association
More about this Streamdays hosted webcam
The views from this camera overlook the Bay area, where beyond lie the islands of the Inner Hebrides: Kerrera, which protects the town from Atlantic storms, the low, green island of Lismore, majestic Mull and the granite mountains of the Morvern peninsula. Beyond them, the sacred island of Iona, Coll, Colonsay and Tiree.
Look out for Caledonian MacBrayne Car ferries making their way slowly in and out of the Bay on their way to and from the isles.
Oban is justifiably known as the Gateway to the Isles. The town's south pier is the embarkation point for car ferries to Mull, Coll, Tiree, Barra, South Uist, Colonsay, Lismore and Islay. From these islands you can travel further afield to Iona, Staffa and to many of the smaller, less well known isles.
And it doesn't stop there. A short distance from the south pier along the Gallanach Road is the slipway for the Kerrera ferry, and a pleasant drive south allows you to take your car, or bike, over the Atlantic by bridge to the Island of Seil.
Watch out for travellers and webcam fans looking up at the camera from the Lookout Point near the water's edge. It's a great way to say hello to those at home.
