Oban has a resident population of just over 8,000 people, swelling to 25,000 in the height of the tourist season, making it the largest town between Helensburgh & Fort William on the West Coast..
The town receives around 65ins (1660mms) annual rainfall (nearly double that of Pitlochry), but on the plus side, fares very well in settled conditions with winds in an easterly quarter. It also has fewer frosts than our area, with the record lowest temperature just -8, compared with -20 in Pitlochry..
