Bus services to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oban, Fort William and Inverness also run in this region.

Loch Linnhe, a sea-loch with its southernmost reaches just to the north of Oban, splits into two 'fingers' at Onich, one stretching northwards and the other to the east.

Flower in Scottish Countryside

The peace and quiet of this location is perhaps at its best at dusk, as the colours of the sunset reflect upon the waters of Loch Linnhe.
