Private Walking Tour in Fort William Town Centre

You can have a fun filled private tour with a local lad and some of his family (most frequently his Mum). Nathaniel says "I have researched lots of information on the local area and am always learning and adding more every day". The tour is operated by a 15 year old with assistance from mum. We offer a unique youthful perspective on the history of the town of Fort William. I will lead you through the entire High Street giving you a tale or two of what happened here in the past and how life looks here now. We stop at some of the iconic buildings and monuments and I have a story or two that is not so well known! Fort William has been a trend setter in its day and houses quite a few artefacts that can only be seen in 2 or 3 places in the whole of Britain! We can’t wait to share it all with you.

Steall Falls waterfall

A stunning 9km / 5.5 mile forest walk following the winding Water of Nevis to the dramatic Steall Falls. The route meanders through the rocky Nevis Gorge and opens to the panoramic landscape of Glen Nevis. Steall Falls is third highest waterfall in Scotland and cascades 105 meters down the rock face. In Gaelic it's called An Steall Bàn meaning "The White Spout". This iconic area is featured in two Harry Potter films. At the end of the walk, there's a wire rope bridge over the river for the adventurous! This is a private hike with Trev, your friendly local guide. The path is a little rocky and muddy in places, so he's on hand to help if needed. He's always happy to take photos! Please note that if it's not rained for a while, the waterfall won't be flowing fast.
