Oban; Monday, 30 May, 2011

I checked out of the hotel and walked down to the station to pop my bags into the luggage lockers. I then popped round to the tour shop to get my refund for yesterdays cancelled tour.

I had about three hours to spare before my train so I decided to head out to Dunstaffnage castle, about 3 miles out of town. Whilst there are hourly busses I had just missed one and the next one wouldn’t have left me with enough time to look around, so I grabbed a cab instead.

I had a long wander around the site taking in both the castle and the ruins of the chapel before heading back into town to pick up my stuff and catch the train back to Glasgow.

The train ride back was if anything more spectacular as it was sunny so there was much more to see, on the way down some of the mountains had been a little obscured by the pounding rain.

We eventually pulled into Queen Street station a little after 16:00, I wandered the short distance up the hill to the bus station and picked up the bus back to the airport and my uneventful and thankfully on time flight home.
