About the town of Fort William in Scotland
Fort William is situated at the geographic centre of one of the most scenic areas of the Western Highlands of Scotland. This central location makes it an ideal location from which to explore this area steeped in history, culture, beauty and outdoor activities.
The magical names of 'Loch Ness', 'Skye', 'The Road to the Isles', 'Oban', 'Glencoe', 'Ben Nevis', 'The Island of Mull' and 'Aviemore' are all within an easy drive through spectacular scenery.
Fort William is a bustling centre with an attractive pedestrianised High Street affording ample shopping, banking, restaurant and leisure activities. The world famous steam train departs from here during the summer months taking passengers along the celebrated West Highland Railway to the fishing port of Mallaig.
The area is considered to be 'The Walking Capital of Scotland' with everything from gentle strolls through beautiful Glens to the more arduous 7 hour climb to the top of Ben Nevis(4 hours up, 3hours down!) or the 5 day, ninety five mile walk, along the West Highland Way to Glasgow. Mountain biking is becoming a major attraction in the area.
About the town of Oban in Scotland
Oban today has a resident population of 8,500 and is the unofficial capital of the West Highlands - the "Gateway to the Isles". The panoramic views of the mountains, lochs and islands which have captivated artists, authors, composers, and poets for centuries are as striking now as they were when Dunollie Castle, a ruined keep which has stood sentinel over the narrow entrance to the sheltered bay for around six hundred years, was the northern outpost of the Dalriadic Scots.
Loch Etive It is no surprise to find Oban in the 21st Century remains a magnet for travellers from all over the world. The town's present day popularity owes much to the Victorians, and as early as 1812, when the Comet steamship linked Oban with Glasgow, the town played host to intrepid travellers touring Staffa - the inspiration for Mendelssohn's Hebridean Overture - and Iona - home of Scottish Christianity since St Columba stepped ashore in AD563.
Indeed once Oban had the royal seal of approval from Queen Victoria, who called it "one of the finest spots we have seen", the town's destiny as an endearingly enchanting holiday destination was as firmly set as the lava columns of Fingal's Cave in Staffa.
