Lying in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Fort William is the capital of Lochaber and one of the major resorts of the Highlands. 'Fort Bill' lies at the heart of Lochaber and is the area's natural capital. In addition, the town commands an important position - being easily accessible from Glasgow and the central belt, and in turn providing good access to the Highland and Islands. Indeed, the town's importance - both to local people and the visitor - is underlined by the wide range of accommodation, shops, restaurants, essential services and recreational facilities.
