Scotland - Fort William and the West Highland Glens

August 12th 2021
Dear All Greetings from Fort William, in the Western Highlands of Scotland! Although it is not such a pretty town itself, its location is stunning – at the foot of mighty Ben Nevis and Glen Nevis (a glen is a flat-bottomed valley in between mountain ranges), and on the shores of beautiful Loch Linnhe.

Great Review!
Although I don't remember much from my own visit to Ft. William & Ben Nevis many years ago, I do have some memories of the Battle of Culloden monument and a song about the murder of the McDonalds ("Oh cruel is the snow that swept Glencoe.....")! As a Harry Potter fan, I'm a bit jealous over the fact that you saw THE Jacobite steam train (Hogwarts Express) and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!! Kudos for summiting Cow Hill, braving the rain and getting some smashing photos of this area!

Thank you!
Lovely to read that you recognise so many of the places in my Fort William blog entry ? I was really quite fortunate to time my arrival at the viaduct with the crossing of the train. Despite the rain, I have some great memories of my visit to Fort William and around. Thank you for reading Sylvia ?

Oh yes, and great photo of the stags!!
