Nestled on the Firth of Lorn, Oban flourished around its renowned distillery established in 1794. Its allure even attracted esteemed visitors like Sir Walter Scott, who explored its beauty in 1814. The image is an engraving featured in "Our Own Country, Volume V" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. This book was a treasure trove of knowledge about Britain's landscapes and communities during the late 19th century.
