Oban
With McCaig's Tower prominent on the skyline this can only Oban. No 27 040 waits with a train for Crianlarich and Glasgow.
Only platforms 3 and 4 survive, although there may be some sidings on the shore side - there were in 2001.
The tower was built by John McCaig, a wealthy philanthropic Scottish banker, who intended it should contain a museum and art gallery. However, construction eased on his death in 1902, his vision unfulfilled.
10 January 1978.
