Fort William and Lochaber has some of the most interesting history
in Scotland and you can get to most of it from Woodside within 1 hour or
less by car.
The Jacobites started their Fight for Liberty at Glenfinnan in 1745; Inverlochy
Castle Ruin in Fort William is almost 1,000 years old; Fort William is
named after King William of Orange who garrisoned his Red Coats here to
sort out the Highlanders; Ben Nevis was first scaled as a mountain route
in the late 1800s.; Glen Nevis has an Iron Age vitrified fort site which
also is a great walk with fantastic views of Ben Nevis
In town take a visit to the West Highland Museum where you will be fascinated
for hours...
Today film makers come to Fort William and Lochaber for the scenery - Braveheart,
Highlander, Local Hero, Harry Potter - just few to mention...
