4****Highland Hotel Fort William

FORT WILLIAM Lying in the shadow of Ben Nevis, is the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ and the main town in Lochaber. As one of the major resorts of the Highlands, the town commands an important position and is easily accessible. Fort William’s setting is dramatic, on the shore of Loch Linnhe, and under the mighty hulk of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Just a few minutes from the town is Glen Nevis, one of Scotland’s most picturesque Highland glens. The glen is formed from the flank of Ben Nevis and two other mountains and has the River Nevis flowing through it. A gondola takes visitors 2,000 ft up the mountain for amazing views and access to the ski slopes. 

This holiday is set against majestic Highland landscapes of lochs and mountains. A tour blending history and Highland culture with a backdrop of scenery which has made this part of Scotland really amazing. Sit back, relax and take in the Scottish Highlands from Fort William to Inverness. Included are two world-class attractions - cruise on the most famous loch in the world and ride on the splendid Jacobite Steam Train. Our journey north to Fort William takes us through Glencoe known as the Great Glen.
