That small lump in the distance is Castle Dunollie - my "family" castle since the 1300's.
This is not one of those fancy castles - it's a bit of a hike to get up there.
The only remaining entrance to the castle's first floor. Despite work shoring up the walls, only the first floor is really safe.
The view from the castle entrance. Oban is off to the left.
This cairn isn't original, of course.
My family motto in Scottish Gaelic reads "Buaidh no Bas" which means "Conquer or Die."
Dedicated to the 29th Chief of the clan. His name was so close to mine, my spine tingled. Of course, I've got a pretty common name in this area.
Oban with McCaig's Tower in the distance.
More of us! But these ones dropped the "a"
I know, this is a pretty boring shot - out the window of the hotel. I took it at 10PM. 10 Frickin' PM.

I really love bi-lingual signage.
