Outside Edge

For hillwalking, mountaineering, canoeing, camping, diving, watersports, skiing and snowboarding.  The friendly staff have extensive local knowledge and will be happy to advise you on the area as well as their specialist quality equipment, clothing and footwear, ideal for local conditions.

Welcome to Outside Edge based in Oban on the West Coast of Scotland. Outside Edge is a specialist outdoor sports shop run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts and the West of Scotland is an ideal place to live or holiday if you enjoy the great outdoors.

There are plenty of opportunities here for sailing, skiing, walking, climbing, canoeing, diving or just chilling. The aim of this site is to help you maximise your time on the West Coast and to help you with some of the equipment and clothing suitable for this environment.

The shop was set up in 1989 by Dave and June Bleazard who recognised the need for Oban to have a specialist outdoor shop to supply the local needs after having to travel away to buy their outdoor essentials. Dave and June have always been interested in the outdoors having met whilst both working for the Arran Outdoor Centre.

We both ski and Dave has worked in outdoor centres instructing mainly climbing, abseilling, canoeing and hillwalking. We have been joined by our son Michael who skateboards and snowboards. Since starting up we have been helped by several members of staff. Wendy Bramley is our current member of staff.  Wendy is an all rounder who just loves being outdoors whether sea canoeing, walking or cycling.

If there is anything we can help you with, whether that is local information, product information or a quotation then don't hesitate to contact us.

Open 9am-5.30pm, 6 days and Sundays in the summer.
