Fun things to do in and around Fort William for children!
Old Inverlochy Castle – Nice crumbly 13th century castle, that once had four round towers 30 feet high, surrounded by water. It's a a great place for kids to run around.
Take a boat ride – From Fort William pier, take a boat cruise on Loch Linnhe. Great views of Ben Nevis and the loch (April - October).
"Harry Potter" steam train – A great day trip is to take "The Jacobite" Steam Train, as seen in the Harry Potter movies. From Fort William, the train passes over the Glenfinnan viaduct, along the lochs, to Mallaig on the coast, and back again the same day.
Caledonian Canal (Banavie, near Fort William) – My kids are fascinated by locks, all those gates opening and closing, the water rising up or gushing out. Stop at Neptune's Staircase to see 8 successive locks on the Caledonian Canal, a 19th century engineering feat. It took 20 years to build and finally connected one coast of Scotland to the other.
Ride up the mountain (Nevis Range, north of Fort William) – Ride the gondola to the top of Aonach Mor, for glorious views of Ben Nevis (the tallest mountain in Britain). There are easy walking paths, fine for little kids, to viewpoints of the glens and lochs. Skiing in winter.
