    In 1690 the fort was rebuilt in stone and renamed Fort William in honour of William of Orange. This strategic military site played a crucial role during the Jacobite uprisings, particularly during the 1745 uprising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. The fort withstood sieges and was a key location in the turbulent history of Scotland, including the infamous Glencoe massacre in 1692, where troops from Fort William carried out orders that shocked the nation. The fort was eventually dismantled in the 19th century to make way for the railway which the famous Jacobite train (Hogwarts Express) departs from. An optional stop for a quick lunch.

The perfect spot for panoramic photos.
