Fort William,
the traditional seat of Highland life, named after Prince William
Augustus, the second son of King George, known to history as Cumberland,
the victor of Culloden, is today one
of the busiest tourist attractions in Scotland. Set on the shore of
Loch Linnhe and the base of Britain's highest mountain , Ben Nevis,
one can see why it's so popular. This is a beautiful town in a wonderful
setting which reflects all that the Highlands
of Scotland are about.
For the holidaymaker
there's many things to do and see and where better than a walk through
the high street with all it's various shops. Maybe a trip into the museum
to see the Jacobite display on show or a visit to MacTavish's Scottish
Show in the evening for some traditional song and dance. The local
Distillery is another place well worth a visit to see how the ' golden
liquor ' is made.
For the history buffs Inverlochy Castle is an example of thirteenth
century workmanship but as yet can only be viewed from outside.
The Jacobite Steam Train can 'dazzle ' your eyes with the experience
of a lifetime viewing the wonderful landscapes from your seat on a journey
to Mallaig and for those who love a
cruise, why not enjoy a trip on Loch Linnhe aboard a boat.
