Fort William & Lochaber
Lochaber refers to a fairly large area in the west of the highlands which includes Glencoe, Glen Nevis and some of the Great Glen, as well as the Ardnaurchan penisula and Knoydart. Lying at the foot of Ben Nevis and on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Fort William is a bustling little town that is well-equipped to serve the surrounding area. It has a magnificent setting overlooking Loch Linnhe and is a convenient centre for climbing, walking and mountain biking in the surrounding area.

Lots to See and Do
Attractions include the West Highland Museum, the Ocean Frontier Underwater Centre (which includes a diving training centre with artificial wreck) and the Ben Nevis Distillery.
From here you can take the 'Jacobite' steam train out to Mallaig and take boat trips on the loch to see the basking seals. You can climb Ben Nevis or walk in the lovely glen of the same name and you are ideally placed for touring in all directions.
Around Fort William

Ben Nevis is Scotland's highest mountain at 1343 metres but is surrounded by many other peaks over 1000 metres. The area is thus a magnet for 'Munro baggers' (climbers of mountains over 1000 metres), walkers, skiers (at the relatively new Aonach Mhor ski centre), paragliders and cyclists attracted by the championship downhill mountain biking course.
The Caledonian Canal starts at Banavie where there are eight locks known as Neptune's Staircase. Nearby is the Treasures of the Earth geological exhibition at Corpach.
Glen Coe, south of Fort William, is the site of the 1692 massacre of the MacDonalds at the hands of the Campbell clan. There are lots of both strenuous and less challenging walks in this area, for example, the Devil's Staircase from Kinlochleven and the Buachaille Etive Beag circuit along the valleys. The 14 mile walk from Kinlochleven to Fort William constitutes the final section of the West Highland Way. There are a few attractions in Kinlochleven: the Aluminium Story, The Ice Factor (an indoor climbing centre) and Atlas Brewery.

Lovely renovated cottage with the most amazing view. Loved sitting at the huge picture window watching the changing tides and wildlife. Everything was clean and modern. Gorgeous little villages within driving distance to visit along the Moray coast. Would definitely recommend! | |

We had the most delightful stay at Thornfield. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed —there’s a comforting, homely energy that invites you to exhale and settle in. The décor is absolutely spot-on: a gentle nod to the age and character of the old property, with carefully chosen touches that speak of thoughtful curation rather than cookie-cutter styling. Original features are beautifully preserved, making each room feel like a page from a well-loved storybook. The location couldn’t be more convenient—just steps from the centre of village life, yet when you retreat to the garden, it feels like another world entirely. It’s a little oasis: birdsong, bees lazily drifting between flowers, and that rare kind of quiet that only comes with being wrapped in nature. Truly a memorable stay. The kind of place that gently asks you to slow down—and rewards you when you do. | |
