Walks, wildlife and whisky
There are a number of whisky distilleries in the area so if you’re a scotch fan, you’re in for a treat. If you’re looking for a walking holiday, then Fort William will not disappoint.

Catch of the day
Fort William has some fantastic seafood restaurants where you can sample some freshly caught fish while looking out over the sea. Or maybe stop at a farm shop and tuck into some homemade cake and a pot of tea before taking home some local produce to cook in your holiday rental. Fancy having a go at catching a bite yourself? You can fish for rainbow trout at Torlundy Trout Fishery, Salmon at River Lochy and Loch Lundavra is great for brown trout fishing.
