March - November 2013, Argyll:
Oban’s War & Peace Museum contains a fascinating collection of artefacts and photographs depicting the rich cultural history of the busy port town and its people. You can find out about the fishing and maritime industries, the railways, road transport, and the strategic role played by Oban during the war years when the town was home to Australian, Canadian and US aircrew, and RAF Flying Boats operated from the bay. The involvement of local men and women in WWII is also recalled, as are the other Services who operated in the area at that time.
