September 4, 2024,Bummel durch Fort William
As a town, Fort William is not worth a visit. It is actually only suitable as a starting point for various outdoor activities. But since we were already there, we did a few errands. And even discovered a vegan restaurant. Who would have thought?

Showing Translation

Fort William is mainly known as the starting point of the "Harry Potter train" to Mallaig. The route is 70 km long and goes through the western Highlands to the sea near the Isle of Skye. Unfortunately there was no time for a train ride on "The Jacobite" as the journey there and back to Inverness is already very time-consuming. …

Showing Translation

With the bus back from Neptun’s Staircase, we still had some time in Fort William, so we strolled leisurely through the High Street, where the shops, restaurants, pubs, churches etc. are arranged in such a way that there is always life here.

Showing Translation

The Gaelic name for Fort William is An Gearasdan, meaning The Garrison.
