(USA tourist review) This is a fun quick stop if you’re in the area. While there is not a lot remaining, the walls that still stand can strike your imagination. I wouldn’t make a special trip to see The Old Fort of Fort William, but I’d certainly suggest that anyone in the area who likes history make a quick stop.

The final leg of our journey, from Kinlochleven to Fort William, was a relatively easy 24 km hike that took us through the stunning Glen Nevis valley. The views of the towering Ben Nevis were simply awe-inspiring, and we were able to reach our final destination of Fort William feeling accomplished and fulfilled.

This was a brilliant spot to visit, which Fort William actually took its namesake from! The story is told of this fort having been built and arch gives entry into here for visitors, can sit on the pebbled beach with fantastic loch views as the fort stretches along behind us.

A lovely park with great views over the Loch Linnhe and Ben Nevis. Has a few seating areas with wooden benches and tables. Small litter bins available. The safety for kids, on top of the walls is the main issue I have noticed, as one can fall easily. No safety notes displayed anywhere, nor fences, so please don’t allow children to run nearby the walls or climb up! On the bottom side of the walls, nearby the water, there is a bench and most of the time it is a clean place. Occasionally people don’t respect the signs and make fires there, of leave some litter. The nearest parking is at Morrisons, across the road. Also a MacDonalds is there too. Situated only 2 minutes from the railway station and 5 minutes of the town center. Easy access to anything. Toilets inside Morrisons when open, of behind the Royal Bank of Scotland, also...
