Thought I was in the Colosseum but its actually just a tower! But you do have to meet the local cat here!

About: McCaig's Tower, located on Battery Hill in Oban, Scotland, is a striking structure overlooking the town. Built by banker John Stuart McCaig as a monument to his family, the tower features two tiers of arches and offers stunning views of the surrounding islands. Although McCaig's original plans for a grand museum and art gallery were never fully realized, the empty shell of the tower now serves as a public garden and popular tourist attraction.
