McCaig's Folly Strathclyde At Oban, Strathclyde, on the A85. Built between 1897 and 1900. Perched on a hill overlooking the town. A supposed copy of the Coliseum. A public garden is located inside the hollow shell.
Steep steps climb to the top of the hill.
Open April-Oct. on Wed. Parts of the grounds were used in the film Rob Roy. This is a living hedge planted in 1746 and is the tallest hedge in the world. It is located right on the highway, so drive slowly by for best viewing. 26 acres of grounds with walled garden and dovecote.
