We awoke this morning on the Lord of the Glens docked in the port of Oban. We took off into town towards one of Oban’s famous landmarks, McCaig’s Tower. Also known as McCaig’s Folly, it was built between 1897 and 1902. We took a great walk through town and enjoyed an incredible view of the town and port from the tower. We sailed through the beautiful waters of the Highlands on our way to the Caledonian Canal. The locks were under inspection, so we went into expedition mode and switched to a secondary plan. We docked in Tobermory. After dinner, musicians came aboard for an intimate concert of Scottish folk music. The couple, Hannah Fisher and Sorren Maclean, were amazing, and it was a once in a lifetime show for us.
