Oban war memorial

The Oban war memorial serves the Kilmore and Kilbride Parish and was constructed in the town of Oban after the First World War. It features a simple lower section made of rubble, topped with a stone sculpture of two kilted soldiers carrying a wounded comrade. The memorial honors casualties from both the First and Second World Wars, as well as one casualty from the Falklands Conflict. It is located on the coast at the northern end of Corran Esplanade, offering views over Oban Bay and the islands of Kerrera, Lismore, Mull, and the Firth of Lorn.

The base of the memorial is a square plinth made of granite rubble, designed to resemble a cairn. Each side of the plinth displays bronze plaques with gold lettering on a dark green background. The principal (south) elevation features a Gaelic dedication that translates to "Their renown and name will last forever." The plaques list the names, ranks, regiments, and decorations of 173 casualties from the First World War, 72 from the Second World War, and 1 from the Falklands Conflict, including service numbers, ages, and dates of death.

Atop the plinth is a moving sculptural group depicting three kilted soldiers. The two soldiers on either side are carrying a wounded comrade between them. The sculpture is intentionally roughly carved, revealing the soldiers' equipment, clothing, and faces emerging from the stone.
