Oban

It's hard to find a more Picturesque town than Oban The Gateway to the Isles Set like a jewel on the Firth of Lorn Near the mountains of Morvern And Ardgour McCaig's Tower Above the town Looks like a miniature Colosseum Close by the shore is Dunollie Castle Stronghold of the MacDougall's Of course, there's a distillery here And many a place else in Scotland A wee dram Never too far away Gaelic is the culture And the ancient tongue By many Is still spoken You might learn Gaelic, too If you linger for awhile. Especially after a wee dram. ~ Laurence Overmire (Previously published in The Ghost of Rabbie Burns: An American Poet's Journey Through Scotland, Indelible Mark Publishing,2016)
