Things to do in and around Fort William

Fort William, United Kingdom

FORT WILLIAM SCOTLAND SEP 2013 by calflier001

A major tourist center, Fort William is one of the largest towns in Scotland's Highlands. Glen Coe is just to the south, Aonach Mor to the east and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. Fort William, as its name suggests, was an army fort built by the English forces on the banks of Loch Linnhe, reason being that they could control the local Scottish clans. The town is boasts to have the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis 1,345 meters, making it very popular resort for many year-round activities. In the winter the town is a center for ski and snow activities on the slopes of Ben Nevis and in the summer the same slopes become biking and hiking trails.

Things to do in and around Inverness

Inverness, United Kingdom

River Ness - Inverness by Paul Kentish

Inverness, meaning "Mouth of the River Ness" is the capital of the Scottish Highlands. The river Ness which flows from Loch Ness into the Beauly Firth divides this city. The city is the largest in the area and is dominated by the 19th century red-stone Inverness Castle (listed as a Category A building) which was built on the site of an older castle. Immortalized by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Inverness was a fortress but served as a government building in the last few decades. However, the castle is closed due to renovations and hopefully the castle will reopen to the public sometime in 2025.

Things to do in and around Pitlochry

Pitlochry, United Kingdom

Edradour - Scotland's Smallest Distillery by Neil Howard

Pitlochryis largely a Victorian town, which developed into a tourist resort because of Queen Victoria visiting the area in 1842 and the arrival of the railway in 1863. It remains a popular tourist resort today and is particularly known as a centre for hillwalking, surrounded by mountains such as Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion. It is popular as a base for coach holidays. The town has retained many stone Victorian buildings, and the main street has an unusual period cast iron canopy over one side. The town has two whisky distilleries, whose visitor centres are popular attractions: Edradour, which is the smallest legal distillery in Scotland, and Blair Athol Distillery, which dates back to 1798.
