St Andrew’s Church, Fort William
Highlight • Religious Site
"St Andrew’s is Fort William‘s Scottish Episcopal Church, occupying its own little, green oasis opposite an ugly shopping parade at the northeast end of the High Street. The present building dates to the late 19th century – taking the place of an earlier Episcopal church on the same site – and has an attractive interior further enhanced by the ornate baptistery and font at the rear of the church." Info taken from sobt.co.uk/st-andrews-church-fort-william - the 'Scotland Off the Beaten Track' website that also offers some good pictures of the church. Further info can be found on undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortwilliam/standrews/index.html or scotland.anglican.org/church/st-andrew-fort-william which gives details about the services.

Inverlochy Fort Ruins
Highlight • Monument
The original wooden fort (known as Inverlochy Fort) was built in 1654, but was replaced by a stone fort in 1690 and continually strengthened. It was then named Fort William, after King William III.
Not much of the fort remains now - except for the enclosing seaward wall and the entrance archway.
