| Fort William is an ideal centre for touring the West Highlands. Westwards is the famous Road to the Isles passing through Glenfinnan at 15 miles. Here, in 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) raised his Standard to signify the start of the ill-fated Jacobite Rising and a Monument commemorates the event. The road continues through wonderful scenery to Mallaig, a busy fishing port and the terminus for both road and rail. During the Summer a Steam Train runs excursions from Fort William to Mallaig and is very popular. Turn left at Lochailort on to A861 and explore the Ardnamurachan Penninsula, famous not only for it's scenery but for the most westerly point on the British mainland where stands an unmanned Lighthouse, now a Heritage Centre. Approximately 15 miles south lies Glencoe, another historical area where the infamous Massacre of Macdonald's by Campbell's took place in 1692. A National Trust Visitor Centre is worthy of a visit as is a walk round the lake in the grounds of the local Hospital. |
| A full day's outing to the Isle of Skye is recommended via Invergarry and Kyle of Lochalsh to savour scenes of unrivalled beauty and to view the Cuilins Mountain range from the hamlet of Egol. If time permits a visit to Portree and Dunvegan Castle is recommended. Fort William has many outdoor attractions to offer including sailing, fishing, golf, horse riding, bike hire, walking and climbing in some of Scotland's finest mountains, including Ben Nevis, Britain's highest at 4406 feet. Crolinnhe is only ten minutes walk from the Town Centre offering excellent shopping in the pedestrianised High Street, numerous Hotels and Restaurants and the world renowned West Highland Museum. Rail and Coach Stations are adjacent to each other and a Taxi Rank is nearby. If travelling by road from the south on the A82 look for the 30 MPH sign and take second turning on right up Ashburn Lane (opposite Yacht Club). At top of Lane Crolinnhe is second on left. From north proceed along dual carriageway By-pass, through Roundabout at south end (third exit) and take first left on to Ashburn Lane as above. The proprietres, Mrs Flora MacKenzie assures you of a very warm welcome to her home and guarantees true Highland Hospitality to make your visit both enjoyable and memorable. |
