Fort William

Fort William, nestled amidst the Scottish Highlands, is a vibrant town renowned as the outdoor capital of the UK. Set against the backdrop of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak, it offers a gateway to spectacular adventures. The town itself boasts a rich history, with landmarks like Old Inverlochy Castle and the Neptune’s Staircase on the Caledonian Canal. With charming streets lined with shops, cafes, and pubs, Fort William warmly welcomes visitors to experience its rugged beauty and Highland hospitality.

Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles, towers majestically over the Scottish landscape. Rising to 1,345 meters, its rugged slopes challenge climbers and offer panoramic views of the surrounding Highlands. Rich in history and myth, Ben Nevis stands as a symbol of Fort William & Scotland’s enduring natural beauty.

You could also board the Jacobite steam train in Fort William and head for the busy fishing port of Mallaig. On the way you would be stopping at the world famous 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct (a location made famous in the Harry Potter films) which overlooks Loch Shiel and the Jacobite monument. Then press on to the village of Arisaig on the sheltered shores of Loch nan Ceall and the final destination of Mallaig with its ferry terminal offering connections to Skye and the Small Isles.
