River Lochy at Inverlochy

Highlight • River

A wee part of Fort William that backs onto the river (“Burn” in Scotland) between Loch Linnie & The Caledonian Canal. Interlocks also has a Bike shop if you need ”spares and repairs”. The path to the water is good gravel. Worth a wee detour.

Inverlochy Castle Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Inverlochy Castle was founded in the 13th century on the site of an earlier fort. The castle, which played a part in Scottish and English history during the civil wars of the 1640s, was abandoned in 1654 in favour of a large timber fort built by Oliver Cromwell.

This new fort was then replaced by a stone fort called ‘Fort William’ and the town that grew around it went on to take the same name. The ruins are a fascinating place to explore and there are lots of information boards so you can learn about the history.

Highlight • Rest Area

Named after the highest mountain in Scotland, just around the corner, is the Ben Nevis Distillery, which invites to round trips and whiskey tastings. For hikers, there are also small bottles to take away;)

Fort William Jacobite Steam Train Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The Jacobite is said to be the greatest railway journey in the world. Starting near Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, passengers ride for 84 miles (135 kilometers) through some spectacular scenery; along the breathtaking Glenfinnan Viaduct, past the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar, the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, and finishes next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis. Fans of the Harry Potter films will recognise this steam train as the ‘Hogwarts Express’ that takes pupils to the wizard school. The steam train and parts of its train route were shown in all eight of the Harry Potter films.
