Kinlochleven,
the village at the head of the Loch, once was an extremely busy place
before the new bridge was built, when the road traffic had to wind it's
way round the Loch to reach Fort William.
These were exciting times, but alas, that's progress I suppose. Nowadays
it has had to fall into the shade a little, rather unfortunately, for
it is a nice place.
The village does
have a unique history however, for it was here that hydro-electric power
was harnessed to produce aluminium, which is, used so much today. There
is a great Heritage Centre at the village on that same subject
which has proved to be extremely popular.
Being surrounded
by so much water there is a lot of good fishing to be done and if you
like hiking or rambling there are plenty good areas to explore. The
wildlife is varied and plenty so make sure your camera is loaded.
