Fort William & Lochaber - Guide

General Information / Getting Around

Arriving

You can get to Fort William in a number of ways, it lies on the main A82 which runs from Glasgow right through to Inverness so it is easy for driving, cycling or taking a bus. The main train line from Glasgow to Mallaig runs right through here on its way across some of the nicest scenery in Scotland, if not the world. You can also take the direct sleeper train to Fort William from London. You can also walk to Fort William as it is the end of the West Highland Way and the start of the Great Glen Way.

Getting Around

Again, getting around is easiest by car although if you have far to travel in one day then make sure you fill up with petrol as some of the more remote regions have few petrol stations!

Depending on your destination, there is a lcoal bus service connecting Fort William with the surrounding villages and the train passes through many en route to either Glasgow or Mallaig.

Taxi's are available around the town making it easy to get around and even a night out from one of the surrounding villages to Fort William won't cost you too much for a taxi back.
