EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque town of Oban in Argyllshire, Scotland, during the enchanting month of April in 1923. The image showcases a breathtaking general view of Oban with its most prominent landmark, McCaig's Folly, majestically perched on a hilltop. The Topical Press Agency has masterfully captured this iconic scene, preserving it for generations to come. McCaig's Folly stands as a testament to one man's vision and ambition. Built by John Stuart McCaig between 1897 and his death in 1902, this grand structure was intended as both a monument to his family and an enduring legacy for the people of Oban. Its circular design resembles that of the Roman Colosseum and offers panoramic views over the town and beyond. In this photograph, we are treated to an awe-inspiring vista where land meets sea. The tranquil waters glisten under the soft sunlight while boats gently sway at their moorings. The charming buildings nestled along the shoreline add character to this idyllic coastal setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to an era when life seemed simpler yet full of wonderment. This print is not just a visual delight; it serves as a portal into Scottish heritage and reminds us of our connection with nature's beauty
