36 Underrated Cruise Ports Around the World to Explore in 2025
32. Oban, Scotland: The Seafood Capital
Oban may be small, but it’s the heartbeat of Scotland’s western isles. Known for its fresh seafood (try the scallops or langoustines straight from the pier), this bustling harbor town also offers access to nearby gems like the Isle of Mull and Staffa’s Fingal’s Cave. Explore McCaig’s Tower, an unfinished colosseum-style folly with sweeping views, or take a whisky tour at Oban Distillery. It’s a gateway—but also a destination in its own right, perfect for lovers of rugged coastlines and Celtic charm.
