“Whereabouts are you based?”
It’s a question we get asked a lot, after all our customers come from all over the world. So it may surprise you to hear it (unless you’ve guessed from the accent on our downloads) but the world’s busiest hypnosis site and Uncommon Practitioners is run from Oban, a small coastal town in Scotland’s Highlands.
There’s a reason why so many tourists come here!
Here’s the sort of thing we see in western Scotland…
White sand beaches
Traditional houses
Beautiful scenery
Even more beautiful sunsets
Quite a bit of rain…which means quite a few rainbows…
And very occasionally, the Northern Lights.
It’s a hilly area here. In fact, Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is only an hour away and you can climb it in a day. The uphill slog is worth it for this view…
Or cozily inside! We like to watch movies at our community-owned cinema, or go to the Oban Chocolate Factory, where you’ll often find us having “meetings”…
We’ve also been known to have a pint (or two…) at the pub. Like any self-respecting Scottish town, there’s plenty of places in Oban where local whisky is, er, enjoyed a lot!
So to our friends from around the world, if you’re ever in the UK and thinking of going to ‘that place Skyfall was filmed’ – come and pay us a visit. There’s a hot chocolate with your name on it!

James Gray (the tech guru who edits our hypnosis downloads) created a beautiful video promoting Oban. You’ll even see a glimpse of us at the 30 second mark!
