Outdoor activities in Fort William

Set at the foot of the Ben Nevis mountain footpath, the Ben Nevis Inn is a friendly restaurant with a selection of fresh, wholesome food in an informal atmosphere. Our restaurant is in a traditional, stone-built barn and provides a cosy retreat with an exciting menu. Our log burning stove provides the comfort and charm, while we supply the personal, friendly service. We have a small range of beers, wines and spirits for those eating at the Inn. Live music is a regular feature at our Inn with live Folk music and occasionally Blues. The Ben Nevis Inn is available for private functions depending on time of year. We also have a bunkhouse providing accommodation for up to 20 persons and has a kitchen, showers, toilets and drying area. If you are planning a visit to Ben Nevis you may like to email or call us to make a reservation. You can find us at the end of the Achintee road to Ben Nevis, or alternatively, from the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre on the other side of the River Nevis - a pleasant short walk in summer. The end of the West Highland Way passes through Glen Nevis and we welcome walkers and cyclists.

Welcome to the Clan Cameron Museum which was opened by Sir Fitzroy Maclean of Dunconnell in 1989. The Museum was the brain-child of my son Donald and his wife, Cecil, and the idea was enthusiastically backed by the Clan worldwide who contributed generously to the cost of construction, as did friends of the family and many others. The process of rebuilding this old listed cottage is described and illustrated in the Museum which, since its opening, has been visited by clansfolk from all over the world and by many people interested in the history of the Highlands and the Jacobite cause. The Camerons have lived in Lochaber since the 14th century and the theme of the Museum is to trace the history of the Clan from its early beginnings to the present day. There is also an extensive section on Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1745 in which the Camerons played such a crucial part. We have included in the Museum artefacts, photographs and information about the Commandos who trained at Achnacarry during the 1939/45 War and who frequently return here to visit their old training grounds. 1 am sure they will be glad to know that we have not forgotten them and the important part they have played in the historv of Achnacarry. There are references and exhibits relating to the Clan Regiment, the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, and we are grateful to the Regimental Museum for lending us many items for display. Open Easter - Mid October 11am - 5pm daily July & August 1.30pm - 5pm other months
