Lovely airfield in lovely location. Not much around, but whole island is walkable if you're fit and have some time.
No fuel. No mobile signal at the airport.
Nice food in the hotel in Scalasaig. Wild camping possible at various places on the island (some nice spots just south of the airfield).
No parking charges and no handling necessary. Out of hours permit bust be organised in advance. Can be obtained free from Oban airport by sending your insurance details. It's valid for 1 year. Landing fees paid to Oban airport.
Caves to the North of Kiloran Beach are well worth a visit.
