I'm looking to take a bike over to a couple of the smaller islands for a few days and would be leaving my van in Oban. Any locals who could suggest a good spot where it wouldn't be in anyones way and would be relatively secure?

Just park somewhere sensible out Gallanach Road. As long as you don't mind back tracking a bit further to the ferry terminal than the average joe, you'll find safe spaces.

I was thinking Gana[b]van[/b] Road ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'll have the bike, so I don't really care how far it is to the terminal.

I regally park with permission in a YHA car park and then contribute to the mountain rescue at their reception.

The road out to gallanach is a good shout, park by the seafood temple (which is very good too) right end of town too. Dunno how happy puffin divers would be about you leaving a van there... Could always ask, my dad's boat stays there for 9 months if the year, he pays in whiskey and chocolate.

I often head over to South Uist (mrs is from there) and leave my car in the Aldi car park just behind Tesco's. Left it there for almost a week and its been fine.
