sell stuff maybe hail and bookshop they sell new books and they've also got secondhand books upstairs as well cafe up near the church here coffee eat climb repeat that's a slogan one of the boats you can see is just heading out shortly it's quite nice to do these walks this time in the morning because they're not disturbing them they're just walking down the street and it's nice and quiet we've got the awesomes accommodation here hotel not bananas i'm not sure what it's like but location-wise can't really be beat right in the middle of the high street as i said guys if you're new to the

four volumes not that cheap for tails you'll find in peak season you're probably looking at 100 a night roughly for even basic hotels like the imperial hotel which is quite basic it's quite dated but it's fine they've got to be rebound the restaurant the rooms are okay as well the room i've got it's got a really nice view it overlooks the lock as you can see only small downside is because it's on a main busy road it's pretty pretty noisy the traffic going past but a nice location you can see we've got the bank there as well it's a nice historic building i'll just take a wee bit further down high street here we've got the church here if you're looking for somewhere to go on a sunday it's called the saint andrews church a nice bowden we've got an italian american bbq diner here chicago

district who made the supreme sacrifice for god king country in the great war so we've got foster world war mentioned and also second world war it's basically just a war memorial it sits just in front of the church as you can see in the distance you've got to be cable car here now that's just the advertisement to do a cable car up to ben nevis we've got the alexandra tail got an auto tail it's been here a long time looks quite nice great location just at the end of the high street now if you're getting the train to fort william you've got the train station across the road as you can see it's really central you don't have to get taxis anywhere once you arrive here we're basically right the center of it you get the fort volume travel center across the road as well so as you can see it's a nice area taking you walk round to the front traffic's getting busier now it's now about half past seven in the morning over the roundabout they're just beyond it you've actually got a morrison supermarket and a mcdonald's if you're looking for some snacks they have a good signs to environment still quite a drive to investigate so we're about 104 miles from glasgow fort william but because
