Entrance to Argyll Mansions, Oban

A good start to the day, the ferry wasn’t cancelled. Blipper Boomerang drove us to Craignure for the ferry and onto Oban to wander, eat a late breakfast, not collect our specs, they haven’t arrived yet and kill some time. We passed this doorway and looked up to see a fine looking building with a number of chimneys stacks. I have since checked it out, see info below taken from the internet. I am now annoyed not to have taken more photos of the building, (using the phone and trying to conserve the battery, brain fade last night, I didn’t charge it).

We are now staying near Edinburgh airport in readiness for an early start.
