I first visited Fort William when I was barely 4 years old. Hardly remembering anything about it, my parents took me back when I was 14 to tour the Highlands and the Hebrides. We stayed a lot longer than planned in Fort William and since then I have been back there every year either with my family or my friends.
Perfect for camping, with plenty of sites not far away, and perfect for those who wish to live the Highland Hotel lifestyle in the glamourous hotels, and bed & breakfasts. Also a perfect setting for renting self-catering accommodation in the area.
As you walk down High Street, you will notice that this is the second largest town of the Highlands, next to Inverness. Plenty of shops at very affordable prices, plenty of gift shops, and plenty of pubs along the street...
I'd sincerely recommend either the Grand hotel at the corner of High Street, or the Calluna Lodge for all self-catering holidays / bunking based just outside the town centre in Upper Achintore.
The nightlife is fantastic for me... Pay a visit to the Ben Nevis pub and cast away your problems drinking with the locals, and you can't stay in Fort William without a visit to McTavishes Kitchen! A highland fling, bagpipes, fantastic food and drink...
There's something for everyone around the area... Climbing, walking, camping, shopping, rent a boat, horse riding, diving...
I must admit, the place really stole my heart.
