The Lochaber area is well known for its history and turbulent past. What you may not know is it also has some of the most impressive, natural scenery to be found anywhere in the UK. What makes the Fort William and Lochaber area very special is when history and scenery combine to produce stunning views where historical events occurred.  Even without Man's involvement, Mother Nature is still at work here, producing rocky peaks and cascading waterfalls; shaping beautiful deep lochs and sparkling clear rivers; building silvery white, sandy beaches on Atlantic shores with islands on the horizon. It's endless!

Add to all this our amazing variety of weather patterns and you have an area of the West Highlands where every hour is different, never mind the seasons! It's true that our rainfall is often high but without the rain the land would not be so lush and green - something which all visitors comment on -  the waterfalls and streams would not occur and you would not experience the diverse changes which are a regular part of life here. Any day of the year may begin misty and grey or perhaps clear and bright, but later things might change to produce something different. After a rainy  period, the clarity of the air is amazing - mountains and distant views are rendered so sharp.

The links on this page, which are being developed all the time, aim to provide you with a taste of what there is to see and do when you are in the area or are planning a future holiday or vacation here in Scotland's Fort William and Lochaber.
