A few weeks after Bev & Barb's visit, Bill and I took to the roads for our 9th anniversary to spend a long weekend in Scotland. We spent many hours driving northwest; once we past Glasgow the countryside was dotted with lochs (lakes) and was truly spectacular.

| Oban at night |
We made our way to Oban, the port town for the Hebrides islands ferry. We only spent a few hours in Oban on our honeymoon and it seemed like a place we needed to explore further, so we built in an overnight in Oban.

| Morning in Oban |
We had a tour booked at the Oban distillery for late morning, so after breakfast we hiked to the top of Oban for some spectacular views of the bay.

The Oban distillery produces my favorite whisky so far, so we made sure to build in some tasting time after our tour and well before we had to catch our ferry. Yum! We also left the distillery with the beginnings of a nice little whisky library.
Interesting fact: they don't call it scotch in Scotland, it's simply whisky done right :-)

| Whisky! |
After our tour and a spot of lunch we made our way to the Ferry for our two-day adventure on the Isle of Mull...
