Oban is the main town of Argyll and Bute. A busy port 365 days a year, with workboats and ferries of all sizes attending to the needs of the local population. It is increasingly popular with tourists, who arrive by train, bus or under sail - a destination offering exceptional seafood and a traditional holiday experience for the many thousands of visitors to enjoy. But it is also a place of work. The sea provides a living for some who reside on beautiful islands located throughout the Argyll area, and their work continues, despite the weather or the season.

In Gaelic with English subtitles.
