Interesting ruins of a hydropathic sanatorium / hotel that was constructed in the 1880s but never finished due to financial difficulties. Had it been completed it would have been huge! Some walls are still standing and can be freely explored. Follow the steep path from the road, it zig zags up the hillside then when you get to the more level part turn right and follow the path up to the ruins. Note this is not an official “attraction”, it is an unmanaged and abandoned ruin, so take care.

The path we took to get there, off Rockfield Rd near Taylor's Brae, felt a little unnerving at first, but it was totally worth it and highly recommended. We have AllTrails which was helpful in confirming the route - there are some switchbacks with dead ends on the fairly short trip up, and one spot with a narrow path between a steep drop and an outcropping. The graffiti is a shame but not completely dominant and doesn't spoil the experience.

Beautiful ruin. A bit of guess work needed to navigate the track in hopes of finding it! It’s a big shame the path to it, and ruins themselves aren’t maintained or looked after (and kept free of graffiti)…I’m sure there’d be interesting historical info & photos from when it was functioning that could be displayed!!

Neat little spot. Walk up behind the house as shown, take the first left and then a right. About 10m going up

Perfect slice of heaven in the woods of Oban

Spannende wandeling op smalle gladde paadjes, naar een hoopje stenen zonder sterke geschiedenis. Met de groeten van Sjoerd.
