Em, what is this years tree all about? Surely we could've got something a bit better than that? I feel sorry for it, it looks very sad

Wait till you see the "lights" !

the campbeltown christmas tree is shocking =surely a better tree somewhere in kintyre !!!!!!!!
argyll &bute council complaints tel no = 01546 605516 .IF WE DONT COMPLAIN NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

The tree in Argyll Square in Oban is a scrawny looking thing as well. Maybe the Council got a job lot of rejects at a knock down price.

The Oban lights were switched on on Saturday with Santa and his reindeer. I didn't go to the switching on but went to see the reindeer which were tied up on the grass at the Corran Halls prior to their ordeal of hauling Santa's sleigh through the streets. They had been transported down from the Aviemore area in a horse box type trailer, and didn't look any the better for the journey.They in fact looked quite miserable and disorientated. Maybe the SSPCA should be looking at this annual abuse of these unfortunate animals!

Bah Humbug!

That is a rather pathetic effort. If you look on the webcam

The Palm Trees look as if they would do better as a Christmas Tree!!

Yes next year they should decorate the palm trees right enough! They could put lights round the railings of the cross and decorate the cross too!!!!!!!! Damn sight better than the pathetic effort of a loo brush tree!!!

Considering we are surrounded by Forestry, you'd think they could've come up with something a bit better than that sad pathetic tree!! The first gale and it will be gone! The palm trees would look lovely with lights on them, especially when you see the trees in Burnside Square all lit up. I know there are cutbacks etc but come on!!

Council cut backs indeed. Heard today the guys who went to look for the BALD tree only had a day to find it . Come on aforest a huge place all them trees to chose from . .If this is the way FORWARD were all doomed

The tree is definitely not as impressive as previous years, but at least it's straight this year

Its pitiful......

You'll all be pleased to hear that the tree is being changed at this moment !

The sad little Christmas tree is no longer. It's now been replaced with a happy big healthy looking tree!!!!

That's more like it!!!!

I was just thinking as I passed it there that it was looking alot healthier! Maybe the person in charge has been reading this thread and thought better of it!!!!
