Hi Merideth
The Oban Times according to this website has a searchable archive. http://www.obantimes.co.uk/
Also you may want to try the library there who will most likely have the old papers on fiche

Hi Ann, I had no luck with the Oban Times website but I have had a message from someone who has a copy of the content of his obituary and hopefully a copy of his will, thank you for the hint anyway, cheers Merideth

[Hi I know nothing about him my only interest is the picture of his daughter and there is a plaque to him as Lord Provost in Oban Council offices. Our interest is in the artist but we like to know about his subjects as back ground to the paintings I have attached a copy of the painting. We are told it was painted for her 21st birthday, commissioned by her father Hugh MacCowan thanks for getting back to me rgds Sue

Do you have any other info on Hugh Cowan (or McCowan) of Kimberley House, Oban? Is the Hugh MacCowan trophy for Gaelic in his memory (or perhaps financed by him)? I remember receiving a photograph of his gravestone years ago.
