Fort William (Scotland) Reviews

Fort William holds a very special place in my heart, as a holiday destination, for many different reasons. We spent every childhood holiday here (more later- oh good you say!), I was married and honeymooned here, (Sadly marriage only lasted 5 years, but I can't blame Fort William for that), and second husband proposed to me on the boat pier there. ...  Read the complete review

Fort William is a great base for a ...  Read the complete review

Fort William doesn't actually fall into the "city" category, but if you are planning to tour areas on the Scottish West Coast, then this is certainly a useful and attractive area to stop by in; or even use as a base for a week's holiday. Fort William has the dubious title of being the wettest place in the ...  Read the complete review
