Went to Fort William few years ago. As an American found the place incredibly beautiful and the people so very kind and helpful.
A couple of years ago for a three day break my Wife and I took the overnight sleeper up to Fort William and it poured with rain with high winds and rain for the three days. A walk up the High Street was how shall I say, an experience! It was a relief to get the overnight sleeper back to London. I must say however all we met were very nice people, as there was no sign of SNP nastiness!
At last a vlog that takes us through slowly and shows us properly what shops restaurants are available and where👍 instead of quick scan and a view rubbish clips were we're none the wiser.appreciated👍

thanks Irene.
I love Scotland. I travel from Yorkshire and my first stop is Fort William to fill up with fuel and food at Morisons. The pubs do great meals, staff are great.
Crofter bar is good food, scenery is good
I really like this because it gives a full view of my hometown of Fort William no stone left untouched or landmark
I was in Fort William for a week in 2015, to see the places where my Cameron ancestors lived. My mum was a proud Cameron. I fell in love with Scotland in general. The places and the people ❤While I was there, I also visited Glasgow and Edinburgh. The places and the people ❤In Fort William I stayed at The Seafield House B&B. Lovely stay.
Been 3 times twice after walking the west Highland way brought a I walked the west highland way tee shirt , recommend the walk to anyone I did it 70 years old , what an experience
nice one !
Fort William is so wonderful
The Crofter is a great wee bar. I had a great time there when I was in Fort William recently. The locals are friendly.
I've visited fort william a few times and stayed at the Travelodge which was really nice. The highland museum was great, lots to see, far more than what I expected. Chicago heights is a great place for food and desserts with Al Capone and the owner is such a lovely man , I would recomend the Geographer for food too. I would also recommend the Crannog boat cruise they take you to see the seals and the salmon farm and you can get great views of Ben Nevis. The Nevis range is great too, especially if you get a gondola up a mountain, for some fantastic views.
St Andrews Episcopal Chuurch was only closed due to Covid but is now open when the priest is available. Sunday Service is 10.45. It is worth visiting for its mosaics, wood carvings and painting, Its hehritage is the Jacobites and a history can be found inside the church
Thanks for this virtual tour of Fort William. It brought back some great memories of visiting that great city and area of Scotland. We have stayed at a couple of the hotels and they were really fine, but our favourite accommodation was the Myrtle Bank B&B it looks on to Loch Linnie. Within walking distance of the high street heading towards Oban. I love visiting the Fort William area. Thanks again for the share. It was brilliant.
Thanks
Love this. Great memories. Thanks so much Kev ❤
Such a lovely place I stayed at the glen Nevis caravan park lovely restaurant there as well called the copper kettle
Fantastic country Scotland from Blackpool Bob love it.
Try climbing cow hill directly behind the swimming pool great walk once your up there you will come across wild highland cows they are wild absolutely brill walk
If you had looked down and to your left, at about 17:00, you would have seen the entrance of the pedestrian underpass to the the travel center and Morrisons. Quite handy for avoiding traffic.
Absolute brill video of my birth town.
Very helpful videos! Thank you!
A picturesque town and with the lovely Ben Nevis. I was there during summer 2018 train up from Euston Station London by Caledonia Rail and camped 2 nights at Ben Nevis Campsite before I start my solo cycling trip of Skye & NC500 route. It was also a nice route from here to Mallaig where I took ferry to Skye after a night there. Mallaig is also a smal beautiful port town. Scotland is awfully beautiful especially on the outskirts or small towns like Fort Williams. I also bought some apparels from Sports Direct outlet there. Look forward to return again in near future once the pandemic is over and borders are open. Scottish are friendly and helpful and it is one of the best place to visit indeed. Thanks again for your lovely video and information.
thanks very much, sounds like you had a great trip.
There are some landscapes in Scotland where they have looked like ones in Brazil .
Fort William is amazing place ,indeed !
Hi, yes, I visited Fort William several years ago. Travelled up on the sleeper and spent a night at a very good B&B just up the road from the High Street. Lovely town. Incidentally, I followed the football team for some years urging them on to get some success but sadly they succumbed and were relegated.
Found the people very friendly.
I was there last June. amazing place.
I’m coming up to Fort William in a couple of weeks so this post is really helpful
Thanks enjoy
That's the first i've seen Fort William dry, every time i've been it's been pi...ng down 😅

Hello there from Oz. Thank you for informative video and for taking the time to point out the various shops, restaurants etc at an even pace so we can take it all in. Now that life is starting to return to normal I shall once again take my usual annual holiday to the the UK for two months. The majority of time is spent in Scotland for it my favourite place and I have had this "urge to return" since my first visit way back in 1973. So I will look forward to your video with great delight and add to my "to do" list for my next adventure next year. Take Care, keep smiling and stay safe.
thanks and welcome to the channel.
This summer just gone we travelled scotland for 7 months.
Over the last two year I've ran up and down Ben nevis 6 and love Fort William.
Spent a month at Ullapool up the West Coast and slept at nock and cragg for the views and the stag's nowt there but fantastic views. Can't wait to get back this summer, thanks for the vid.
thanks Patrick , check out the highlands playlist for more walks at ua-cam.com/play/PL8KyHs09AylOLPEfMSeY4-qE79CZgWGrr.html

Very Informative Indeed
Me and the husband are visiting fort William in February next year for 5 days on a coach holiday,we're really looking forward to it
This is very helpful getting an idea of what the area looks like. Thank you. 💐
You’re welcome 😊
Nice place 👌
Great video and helped me prepare for my trip to that area in four weeks.
I love your videos…they’re so calm and leisurely and informative…well done sir!
Thank you very much!
im visiting next week, from the netherlands :) Hope you and yours are safe from the storms.
Nice video. In 2019 we had a three generation family trip to Scotland and spent a day in fort William. One son and girlfriend did the Ben Nevis walk whilst the rest of us had lunch in the lovely seafood restaurant by the loch. I would highly recommend it. The Highland Bookstore is fantastic. It’s got everything. I picked up a Val Macdermid amongst other books. Great staff too. I can’t remember if the bookstore had a cat; if it doesn’t, it should get one.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Loved being at Fort William for a day prior to walking to Inverness on the Great Glen Way.
Cracking wee vid mate could tell you loads about Fortwilliam the train station used to be next to weatherspoons the high street is well fake the proper high street is so many feet below loads of history about Fortwilliam nice wee walk to try Steele falls look forward to seeing more of your posts mate brill aidy fae killie
Many thanks Kevin - such a helpful tour! I will be staying in Fort Augustus and clearly this will be my closest shopping centre. I am looking forward to joining your virtual tour of Edinburgh - my home town :)
WHO is this guy...Ben Nevis...he certainly OWNS a lot of properties.
Ben Nevis is a mountain
He's the brother of Ben Dover .
Who you may have heard of..?
Thank you, we are staying in Fort William for a couple of days after the hiking the West Highland Way and before climbing Ben Nevis. It looks great.
Have fun!
Good job
Some years ago visited Fort William with a coach party. Stayed at the Croit Anna Hotel which had a lovely panoramic window in the dining room and an amazing view. Didn't go up Ben Nevis because I don't like heights. Waited in the cafe downstairs while others in the group went up. Very enjoyable holiday.
Thanks
Great
I scaffolded the big hotel just as you come into fort William on the right hand side never forget it middle of winter it was snowing that hard you could see the water or the hills 1985
Brilliant Kevin
Yes twice staying at the Ben Nevis hotel in 2002 and again in 2005 on coach yours from North West england.
I really enjoy your videos...😘
Thank you so much!
Had fish and chips in the Ben Nevis Bar two weeks ago, it was first class.
The Grog & Gruel pub use to be awesome. Would love to go back.
We stopped in Fort William on the way back from Skye to Glasgow. I loved this place. We found a great health food restaurant with delicious vegan treats.
yip nice place, thanks.

Thank you for this video. I'm planning to visit Fort William next year for my birthday and will be staying at the Travelodge so to see where and how far various places are from there is a real help. Cannot wait to visit this lovely little town
You might try the walk through Dollar Glen up to Castle Campbell at Dollar at the foot of the Ochil Hills.
thanks for the tip, if I am out that way I will be sure to check it out.
I am from Scotland my self I was born in dumfries
Nevis Range mountain gondola goes up Aonach Mor not Ben Nevis ;)
thanks, I updated description on the Gondola video.
@@scotsmantravels3288 no problem :) 👍
Thanks for this. I haven't been to Fort William since 2002. I made a stop off on my way to Skye (have you done a video of Portree?). I hadlunch in the Ben Nevis restaurant and bar I think. It was lovely. Have a great day!
thanks, not been to Skye yet.
Hello Ailish...imagine meeting you here. xx
@@daviemcf 😁
I would have thought there would be more people at:
MO
NEY....
popular as it is!
Great video of high street,last time i was here they had the pub 'maryburgh inn' or something.is it till tbere? i stayed in bank st hostel
It's my original hometown so I'm very honoured you're doing a video about the town why don't you visit the crannog restaurant down by the pier kevin
Thanks , was shut when I was there due to covid.
I miss home :(
Ate at a great seafood restaurant on the water’s edge.
few nice ones there. Maybe it was Crannog ? I have a few more videos going by there.
As a rep I called the Morrison store and Tesco Metro monthly coming down from Inverness on my way to home to Lanarkshire and did that for 10 years so know it well.
thanks, its a nice place.
Great video. You can do Lossiemouth next.
will do next time I am up there.
That whole coast line is wonderful along to Inverness via Nairn and onto the Black Isle and Dingwall.
Whoever decided to open a Travel lodge between Wetherspoons & the Black isle bar - didn't have many brain cells! - Not getting much sleep there are you?
The traffic jams are unbelievable
How about a walk around Tobermory?
Tbh at first I was sceptical as I've been to Fort William many times and always found it extremely disappointing, especially given it's magnificent surroundings. However you have shown that there is a bit more to it than I gave it credit for. You have a good manner about how you present your videos so well done Kevin! But just in case people take you literally, the cable car doesn't go up Ben Nevis, it goes up Aonach Mor which is part of the Nevis Range.
Thanks
Could you make a series of videos on the scottish islands, one on the shetland islamds, one on the orkney islands, one on the inner hebrides and one on the outer hebrides ?
Yip if u sponsor them no problem.
Is there a Waitrose around the area, you think?
Don't think so
planning to visit there soon but we are from South Yorkshire it’s very far to drive.
Take a ride
round Loch Leven and picnic near the island... stunning. Worth the drive up...we travelled up from Wakefield and stayed over In Carlisle on the way .
@@LuckyLouDiamond1 thanks for the info.
Where is residential area in fort Williams??
Plenty of info well done z. Fort william should be giving you a fee for all that
Thanks
You forgot to mention the midge issue?
yip can be an issue, was ok during day but they came out at night !
What is the easy way to get a rent house in Fort William?
Right move website
I did work in MCTAVISH'S KITCHENS but I guess its not there anymore
Hi Sean, I dont think so I didnt see it maybe changed name ?
It burnt down about 14 years ago😭, it's now the Travel lodge.
Theres one in Oban.
In fact the sign for town centre is translated into English.
SUBBD KEVIN

Donald Wheres Your Troosers.
