Neighbourhood information

The Shack is tucked away in a quiet, elevated spot above Fort William, offering guests the best of both worlds – peaceful surroundings with panoramic views over Loch Linnhe, while still being just a short stroll from the heart of town. You’re still within walking distance of the town centre, shops, restaurants, and travel links, making this a perfect base for exploring Ben Nevis, Glen Nevis, and the wider Highlands. Known as the Outdoor Capital of the UK, Fort William is the gateway to the Highlands and a hub for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
