Hotels in Fort William

Fort William is the largest town to be found in the Scottish Highlands. It was originally formed around the village of Inverlochy and is found at the southern end of the Great Glen. It sits on the shores of both Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil and is very close to Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. 

It is used as a base by thousands of people who climb Ben Nevis each year and this is why there are so many places to stay in it.
