The village of Castlebay (Scottish Gaelic: Bàgh a' Chaisteil) is the main village on the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is located on the south face of the Island, and overlooks a bay in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as nearby islands such as Vatersay
The village is home to one of the main transport hubs of the island- the ferry terminal. Steam ferries were known to be traveling between Castlebay and Oban in the late 1800s, albeit with notorious traveling conditions. In the 1980s, a roll-on-roll-off car ferry terminal was finally built in Castlebay, allowing much bigger car ferries to arrive on Barra. Between 1989 and 1998, the MV Lord of the Isles traveled daily between Oban, Castlebay and Lochboisdale on the island of South Uist, sometimes stopping on the Isle of Mull. In 1998, the MV Clansman replaced the MV Lord of the Isles on the Oban-Castlebay-Lochboisdale run. There is also a timetabled ferry running between Mallig and Castlebay.
The island's ringroad, the A888, is what connects Castlebay to the rest of the island by road.
Oban (An t-Òban in Gaelic meaning The Little Bay) is a resort town in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, with a population of around 8,000. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William and during the tourist season the town can be crowded by up to 25,000 people. Oban occupies a beautiful setting in the Firth of Lorn. Oban Bay is a near perfect horseshoe bay, protected by the island of Kerrera, and beyond Kerrera is Mull. To the north is the long low island of Lismore, and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour.
Attractions in Oban include the Waterfront Centre, the Cathedral of St Columba, the Oban Distillery, Dunollie Castle, Dunstaffnage Castle and McCaig's Tower, which dominates the town's skyline. Oban is an excellent base from which to explore the sights of Kilmartin Glen.
The Oban Tourist Information Centre, operated under VisitScotland, is located in the centre of the town in Argyll Square. It is housed in an old Church of Scotland building. In 2004, the Oban Tourist Information Centre was second to Edinburgh as the busiest Tourist Information Centres in Scotland.
