Auction Lot ID: 16605 12 bedrooms (4 en suite) 3 reception rooms Games room & ancillary rooms Garage & greenhouse 0.5 acre garden Freehold SITUATION: Rosebank House occupies a prime elevated position with beautiful open aspects over Oban, the Sound of Mull and beyond to the Isles of Kerrera and Mull.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 eight and a half thousand 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. The most outstanding feature in Oban is McCaig's Tower which is also known as McCaig's Folly. This was built in 1897 to provide work for local stone masons and provide a lasting monument to the McCaig Family. The original intention was to complete it with a large tower placed in the middle but this, like the intended statues of the McCaig family, never materialised. The tower is clearly visible from Rosebank House.Oban is also arguably the centre for the West Coast sailing scene and still retains a large fishing fleet.Oban boasts a wide variety of shops, sporting and transport facilities. Restaurants, cafes and bars abound, many with live bands and ceilidhs and for the energetic. Swimming and other sports can be enjoyed at the Atlantis Leisure Centre.
