Fort William
Fort William is a settlement in the Highlands of Scotland. Initially formed on the still-extant village of Inverlochy, the town is located at the southern side of the Great Glen, Fort William lies close to the head of Loch Linnhe, one of Scotland's longest sea lochs, next to the mouth of the rivers Nevis and Lochy. It is close to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, Glen Nevis and the town of Achnaphubuil is on the opposite coast of the loch. When the railway opened to Fort William on 7 August 1894, the station was granted prime position at the south end of the town. The result was that the town was divided from the lochside by train tracks prior to the 1970s when the present-day by-pass was built, and the station was re-located to the north end. In accordance with the 2001 Census, it has a permanent resident population of close to 9908. This makes Fort William the 2nd largest settlement in the Highlands of Scotland and the largest town: only the city of Inverness is larger. Within this population, around 726 people, making up 7.33 percent of the population, can speak Gaelic. Fort William is a major tourism centre, with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mòr to the east and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is a hub for hillwalking and climbing thanks to its distance to Ben Nevis and various other Munro mountains. It is also known for its neighboring downhill mtb track. It is the start and end of both the West Highland Way (Milngavie-Fort William) and the Great Glen Way (a walk/cycle way Fort William-Inverness).
