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

The Jacobite (Hogwarts Express) was seriously late departing Fort William, absolutely packed with adults wearing capes and waving wands as it speeds under Ben Nevis and thunders over the Lochy railway bridge on its way to Glenfinnan and Mallaig
SPOILER ALERT: Save your money and go on the ScotRail diesel service that takes exactly the same route a few minutes earlier. Greatest railway journey in the world?, my rse. You get to see little through dirty rain streaked windows except railside vegetation and branches and the occasional dead deer

I spent the day yesterday in a 20 mile radius of Fort William, I went free style about 80 percent of the day, no tripod. The mist and cloud swirled and the rain just kept coming. Shooting this in the rain handheld with the water running off me and the camera for some reason felt very liberating.
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.
The Wreck at Corpach on the shores of Loch Linnhe near Fort William.
A drizzly morning up in Glen Coe, so headed to Fort William looking for some slighly better weather and decided to take a look at this old wreck at Corpach.
Fort William behind, Ben Nevis is hidden behind cloud and drizzle.

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 períodos 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 volvío 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 característica de esta zona de Escocia.

Ben Nevis Summet Britains highest peak, taken on June 5th 2018 and on a very hot day but the ice would not melt.
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.
