Rockfield was built in 1876 and is the main school for Oban. The Gaelic name is Achadh NaCreige which translates as field of the cliff or rock. This land was a park with many trees but only this tree remains. Play the audio clip to hear Iain's story.

Look nearby for the ornate building with the big arched window on the corner of Stevenson street and Rockfield Road.

High above in the wall of the former church hall, is a shape called a trefoil. A plant with 3 leaves found in soil. It symbolizes the holy Trinity. How many do you see?

Old Shop

Walk along Stevenson Sreet (back past the Rockfield Centre) towards Geogle Street and look for a shop with blue awning on the right.

Forwards or backwards, left or right. This is the place where you might. No matter how you look at the name this type of word reads the same. Can you see what is known as a palindrome?
