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.
