From the airy, open windows of my Junior Suite at the Oban Bay Hotel, I gaze across the calming sea. A cool breeze drifts salty air around the room as I hone in on the faint squeak of oystercatchers wading further along the bay. To the west, the isle of Kerrera is partly eclipsed by a passing Caledonian MacBrayne ship; to the east, a dreamy tangerine sunset slowly descends behind Lismore’s craggy landscape – the previous evening the sky had been aglow in violet, proof that no two days on Scotland’s west coast are ever the same.
