About the host

Hosted by Eilidh Orr

Host profile image
I live in the pretty seaside town of Oban and have been a host since Spring 2018. I love Scotland and enjoy spending my time exploring the amazing beaches, islands, forests and mountains of the west coast. I'm proud to be Scottish and I love welcoming visitors to my hometown and sharing our fantastic scenery and wildlife with the rest of the world.

I enjoy travelling around the rest of Scotland as well as across Europe. I'm a total foodie and as a rule my trips and adventures must always involve finding the best bakery, coffee shop, cheesemaker, winery or whatever the tastiest local produce is along the way. Even if I'm just popping out on a casual Sunday cycle I will only go if it means getting a slice of my favourite apple pie on the way. Happy to share more info on this (and other tips) with my guests by the way!

I may be biased but there really is nothing better than watching the sun setting over Oban bay with some famous fresh seafood and a glass of wine.
