Experience Overview:

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 (especially his Mum). 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 13 year old with assistance from mum.
We offers 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.
