While a tour of a Scotch whiskey distillery may not spring to mind as top activity in Scotland with kids it may spark the interest of a parent or two as well as older children fascinated with potions and brews. The Oban Distillery, located just a block from the harbor and the town's main street, is convenient for parents with younger kids. The half hour tour can be taken while your mate watches ferries and boats or shops for souvenirs with the smaller members of the your crew.
