About
McCaig’s Tower sits above Oban on Battery Hill, with gardens framed by the unfinished granite structure and views across Oban Bay towards Kerrera, Lismore and Mull. The town-centre route includes the 144 steps of Jacob’s Ladder.
Who it suits
Campervan practical note
For larger campervans, use suitable town parking and walk up rather than relying on the small, steeply approached car park at the tower.
Local support & visitor value
Naturally links a short viewpoint visit with Oban town-centre cafés, shops and local services.
Parking notes
A small car park exists at the base of the tower, but the approach is steep. Larger campervans are better left in suitable Oban parking while visitors walk up from town.
Responsible travel
Avoid forcing a large vehicle into steep or narrow streets if the approach is unsuitable; use established town parking and make the viewpoint part of a walk through Oban.
Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
