Oitir Mhòr Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Oitir Mhòr sits on the west side of Kerrera, tucked in behind Eilean nan Gamhna and offering genuinely calm water away from the bustle of Oban Bay just across the sound. You'll drop anchor here with open views and a real sense of seclusion, even though the mainland and Oban's amenities are only a short dinghy ride away. Rapidly growing in popularity among those who know the area, it's one of those spots that tends to get recommended quietly, friend to friend.
