Tourist information Torlundy

Aonach Mor Nevis Range in Fort William offers a unique mountain experience for people from all walks of life.

The gondola ride is a highly acclaimed visitor attraction in its own right in summer and winter, allowing sightseers to enjoy the scenic ride whilst absorbing the stunning views.

Aonach Mor is also a Mecca for mountain bikers, and has hosted the Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships.

Ben Nevis At more than 4,000ft it is Britain‘s highest mountain. Thousands of walkers climb Ben Nevis each year.

But if you decide to join the throng, remember that this is a serious undertaking and dress for the mountain and not for the valley.

Old Inverlochy Castle The now ruined castle on the outskirts of Fort William was built in the 1200s. Throughout the years it passed through a number of hands, usually by force. It was the scene of two major battles.

In 1431 the MacDonalds defeated the Stewarts and in 1645,the Campbells under the Earl of Argyll, who was holding it, were defeated by the Marquis of Montrose, a victory that was followed by the massacre of 1,300 of the defenders.

If you're looking for ghosts there will be a few around here after nightfall!

The West Highland Railway The world-famous West Highland Line runs from Glasgow to Fort William and then to Mallaig.

The journey takes you through some of the most isolated and stunning scenery in the Highlands, and in the summer the Jacobite steam engine - described as one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World - runs a daily service between Fort William and Mallaig.

Look out for the historic Glenfinnan Monument and the viaduct crossed by the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films!

The island can be reached by car ferry from Mallaig or Glenelg or by the toll-free bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh.
