Destinations » Europe » European Coast » Fort William, Scotland


Fort William is the largest town in the highlands of Scotland and second largest settlement behind the city of Inverness. Fort William is a major tourist center with Glen Coe just to the south, and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is an important center for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains, marketing itself as the "Outdoor Capital of the UK". It is also well known for its nearby famous Downhill Mountain Bike Track 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.
