Property description

Victorian Townhouse with beautiful views.

Location

Roseneath occupies an elevated position with beautiful open aspects beyond the surrounding properties to the Isle of Mull and the island of Kerrera. The town of Oban is the largest port in the west of Scotland and the main ferry terminus for the Hebrides. Ferries from Oban serve Mull and many of the inner Hebridean islands as well as Barra and South Uist in the Western Isles. Oban (meaning 'little bay' in Gaelic) has a population of approximately 8,500 and is known as 'The Gateway to the Isles'. It originally existed as a small fishing and trading village until the steamers of the late Victorian era started arriving in greater numbers. The arrival of the railway in 1880 confirmed its growing status. One of the outstanding features in Oban is McCaig's Tower which is also known as McCaig's Folly.

Oban is the main hub for the west coast sailing scene and still retains a large fishing fleet. The town boasts a large variety of shops, sporting and transport facilities, restaurants and cafés.
