Carmel is situated in the heart of the very popular west of Scotland tourist town of Oban. From its elevated position there are wonderful views across Oban Bay, the sound of Kerrera and onwards to the sheltered anchorage on the Isle of Kerrera.

Oban is the major market town for northwestern Argyll and has a thriving community and a busy harbour with an active fishing fleet and the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries terminal to Mull and the northern islands of the Inner Hebrides.
