Scope and Content The main settlement of Fort William is shown. The River Nevis joins the River Lochy (note the Nevis joined the Lochy further west but was diverted in the 1960s) which joins the sea loch, Loch Linnhe. A military fort was built in the 1690s and active until the mid 18th century. It was dismantled in the 1860 and the Glasgow-Fort William railway cut through it in the 1890s. The picture shows the older (18th to mid 20th century) part of the town with High Street, churches and piers and modern housing schemes built from the 1960s onwards as the town grew substantially with the development of the pulp and paper mill at Corpach. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
