Calls are being made for the protection and preservation of Oban’s most notable landmark after cracks appeared on McCaig’s Tower. Argyll and Bute Council is having the listed Historic Monument assessed following reports from concerned town residents. McCaig’s Tower is the focal point of Oban. Fiona Ferris, who lives next door to the tower, is one of the closest living relatives to the McCaig family. People use it to promote the town, on their logos, to promote businesses but nobody promotes the tower.
