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.

Location:
The road to Springwell is a romantic journey through the Scottish Highlands,
taking about 2 hours from Perth.
From the rich agricultural land around Perth follow the A85 along the
Earn Valley.
Take the A82 through Bridge of Orchy, across desolate Rannoch Moor and thread your way down rugged Glencoe, surely the most dramatic and atmospheric of the Highland glens, to the bridge where Loch Leven meets the sea at South Ballachulish. Almost there!
Follow the signs for Fortwilliam, still on the A82 and, after 2 miles, as you enter the village of Onich, at the second 30mph warning sign you will see the entrance to Springwell signed on the right. Take the turning and follow the steep drive to your home for the duration of your stay. (For satnav the postcode is PH33 6RY).
