we were very disappointed on our last visit to Fort William.

empty shops and a general doom and gloom atmosphere.

looks as though the place is struggling and not like it used to be say twenty years ago.

Agree with Iain it's a bit of a dump now sad to say, all pound shops and fast food places. Shame.

Laughing I have friends in Fort William, it's a dump, it has Nevis Sport at one end of the high street, charging tourists double the going rate, along the High Street are a mish mash of parochial shops offering little. Busy of an evening with climbers 'easing the pain' and local girls after a bloke with a dick.

The good eateries are outside of Fort William but the town itself needs an overhaul, that said, it is a beautiful area with so much to offer and I would never tell anyone to avoid it Thumbs Up

i agree its a bit of a dump noe just intent on ripping off the tourist in the short summer season that said there are a few places worth visiting for the food both in and out of town

Should have gone to specsavers. They were kitted out in kilts. Rolling with laughter

Looks like the High Street Toilets is a good place to give a miss. Sheep Sheep Sheep
