well hello and welcome hello and today we've reached the west coast of
scotland in particular Oban, Oban so we're
gonna have a look around the little town of Oban and we're starting on top
of the hill at this folly look at this it's in the
style of the colosseum very bizarre
yes in the middle of a scottish town yeah
so let's go take a look at Oban
so one thing i've learned about Scotland
since i've been here it rains a bit windy it's windy
and bring a coat in June a bit like Wales really it's like Wales
yeah i think this side the coast and Oban
it's a bit milder but they still get a lot of wind and rain
so bracing it's not that bad yeah when the
sun comes when the sun comes out it is quite warm
and the countryside is beautiful isn't it yes
and green
mel's gone shopping around all the gift shops is she going to come back with
some shortbread and some tartan in the meantime i'm
going to look around Oban harbour let's go and take a look
around
we've driven about 20 minutes from the center of Oban
to a place known as Seil Island, that's S E I L
island and to get here you go over a bridge
dramatically named the bridge across the Atlantic
but it's only small and as you go over you get to a place
known as the house of trousers it's called this because following the
jacobite uprising in 1745 wearing kilts was made
illegal so the islanders visiting the mainland
used to stop there to change from their kilts
into trousers so they could then head to the towns
so i've already come my trousers i've left my kilt at home
are you gonna change from the kilt into your trousers
that's where they used to do it
i think that's for a man okay
