Scotland has long been renowned for its offering of seafood restaurants. The North Atlantic waters around Oban, warmed by the Gulf Stream, deliver ideal conditions for marine life – giving the area its title 'the 'Seafood Capital of Scotland'.

This festive season, Loch Melfort Hotel is offering seasonal breaks complemented by Scottish seafood buffets – including crab, langoustines, lobster and white fish.
