Hello! I am planning a three week family vacation in Scotland this coming June/July. We will be spending two nights in Oban (one full day to Island hop), during which I am torn about what to do.
I have my heart set on getting to a Puffin colony, and we could do this by visiting Lunga out of Oban. However, I also very much want to see the abbey at Iona. We will have some time in St. Andrews later in the trip, where we could potentially take a side trip to the Isle of May and visit the Puffin colony there. Does anyone have thoughts about which Puffin colony experience would be better? Is there a higher chance to see other animals like whales on the west vs east coast?
Or any thoughts about choosing Iona vs Lunga?
Thanks for the help!
