Fort William is a major tourist centre with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mor to the north and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is an important centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains. It is also well known for its nearby famous Downhill Mountain Bike Track at Nevis Range and its connection to the West Highland Way from Glasgow and the Great Glen Way, a walk/cycle way from Inverness to Fort William through the Great Glen.
Historic Scotland
Scotland is steeped in history and enhanced by buildings from prehistoric dwellings and stone circles to abbeys, remote castles and palaces. From Fort William it is possible to visit many historic sites in a pleasant days return drive. Many of these sites are set off by the rugged mountain and sea backdrop and one can only wonder how different were living conditions and transport between each of these magnificent buildings.
