We had some time on our hands and took a back road up and out of Fort William on the Old Military road. And as we went over the brow, Fort William and the top of Loch Linnhe behind us, the world changed into this. We never found out how far the little road that became narrower and bumpier went, but it became more and more beautiful. I think this was Lochan Lunn da-Bhra and the remote white country house, Lundavra. If we had been on foot we might have got through the mountains to Kinlochleven. I might save that for my next life. For now, I would be happy to just sit on that hillock, like that lone sheep, (left of centre) and enjoy the tranquility and view

What a delight to see this majestic old fishing vessel sat under the watchful eye of Ben Nevis . The shipwreck sits on the shoreline of Loch Eil just outside the town of Fort William

Inspired by Dire Straits' "Walk of Life". I've seen this guy busking over the last few years as we've passed through Fort William on our way to the West coast of Scotland, but this was the first time I was able to get the shot I was after.
Well it had to be done, spent six days in The Outer Hebridies and on theway home via Fort William knoiwing there could be some good skies an eary visit paid off.

Curiosamente, uno de los edificios más históricos de Fort William, que fue construido en 1692 como prisión de la ciudad y parte de las oficinas del sheriff local (en Escocia la figura del sheriff era equivalente a la de juez). En tiempos de dificultad, debido a la existencia de una cruz celta muy antigua, la gente iba a rezar en perÃodos de dificultad, por eso con el tiempo y de forma no oficial, la prisión fue denominada como la "iglesia del pueblo". Estos rezos eran en gaélico, lo que hizo que se declarase iglesia local, Iglesia de Escocia para acoger a los que solo hablaban gaélico en su fe.
Anteriormente, hay documentación histórica que demuestra que en esa localización estaba la iglesia de Kilmallie, entonces a orillas de Loch Linnhe, en una villa de pescadores.
Durante el siglo XVIII hubo una primera gran reforma debido a un incendio menor y en 1800 volvÃo a ser reformada para acoger a un mayor número de feligreses. Desde su fundación ha estado en pleno funcionamiento, lo que explica que su estado de conservación sea muy bueno. En la actualidad se sigue dando misa en gaélico, lo que le da una personalidad caracterÃstica de esta zona de Escocia.
Ben Nevis and Loch Eil, Scotland.
Taken in late autumn a few years ago. If I remember rightly, hand-held from the window of our accommodation. Really had to work for this one!

The swing bridge on the West coast line over the caladonian canal.
The canal stretches from Fort William to Inverness, some 60 miles long. 22 miles of it is man made, the rest of it consists of natural lochs, namely Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour.

The night before our Ben Nevis hike I chose to have a nosey around at the depot in Fort William. LNER 62005 is seen here in the company of a Black Five on shed. Three locomotives were based in Fort William for the Mallaig train duties.
Sleepers on the 22:15 from Euston near journeys end on the approach to Fort William.
Having checked to see any similar pictures on this day in the area there are a couple showing this train as a failure on Rannoch Moor but personally I don't recall it being late.
K1 2-6-0 No. 62052 heading the 1.05pm Mallaig - Glasgow which was taken on by 44956 after reversal at the original station. This section of line is now buried beneath tarmac forming part of the ring road round the town centre. 24 July 1961. A colourised b/w neg.
1Y42 Mallaig to Glasgow Queen Street. Class 156 Super Sprinter in Scotrail Saltire livery leads south on the WHL, having just come in from the same direction from Mallaig.
The 'West Highlander' special returning south , leaving Fort William in the late afternoon.. Seven sleeper cars would be attached at Edinburgh making up 1 7 in total for the return to London.
These two smart '37's', were in my first shot of the day at Fort Wm, Shed,
The view of Ben Nevis from Corpach is a beautiful one with Loch Linnhe often providing perfect reflections and the pretty entrance (or exit) of the Caledonian Canal providing interest and scale.
Conditions were perfect when this photo was taken with enough foreground to provide additional interest and slanting light on Ben Nevis, picking out all the details. Despite being taken in the middle of the day, the winter light was not harsh, meaning that the shadows were not too dark.
