Fort William

Fort William combines the character of a working Highland town with a mountainous waterside setting in a way that reflects its position on Loch Linnhe at the foot of the Great Glen. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, rises just east of town, while the sea loch leads south towards Scotland’s Atlantic coast. Fort William developed around a 17th-century government fort later named for King William III, and its military origins still shape its identity. It is also the northern terminus of the West Highland Way and an important stop on the West Highland Line.
