Harbour life in Oban

A classic soundscape of Oban harbour, starting with serving up langoustines, crabs and mussels in the seafood shack, a walk along the harbour wall and then a huge ferry slowly arrives. 

Towards the end of the recording, the throbbing drone of the engines blends with the creak of massive mooring ropes straining against the ferry's capstans.
