Pride bunting along the railings, Oban Bay. Pavement is shining with the rain which had the decency to hold off until after the parade was over.

At the Corran Halls, end of the parade route. Dancer waving a rainbow flag with the Oban Pride logo on it.

A lone anti-pride protester as the parade took place. Not a great photo, but a sign of our times and reminder of why pride and awareness raising are needed.

Monty, the Oban town cat, who came to see what all the fuss was about before the parade set off.

Some pictures from last weekend’s Oban Pride. Thanks to everyone involved for a well organised event!
