Situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe, the Scottish town of Fort William has a reputation as the outdoor capital of the United Kingdom. It is known as the gateway to the UK's highest mountain peak of Ben Nevis and its beautiful Glen Nevis Valley. The Ben Nevis trail is easily accessible and the mountain takes about eight hours to summit. Fort William is an outdoor adventurers dream destination, perfect not only for hiking and climbing, but also sailing, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, biking, canyoning, and rafting. Travellers should be sure to visit the spectacular Steall Falls, Scotland's second highest waterfall with an impressive 120-metre single drop. Other interesting attractions include the West Highland Museum, featuring displays on regional history, and the Ben Nevis Distillery, providing some interesting insight into the whisky production process.
