Fort William and Glen Coe encompass one of the greatest areas of sea and mountain landscape in Scotland, backed by some of the biggest and most demanding peaks. This is Scotland's fjord land, a drowned coastland with long sea arms wending far inland, and the walks range from Fort William at sea level to Ben Nevis, the highest summit in Britain. The whole area is steeped in history, and its story is well told at local museums and information centres such as at Ballachulish, Kinlochleven and Glencoe, all areas explored in this guide.
