Corpach An early settlement, which later achieved recognition as the terminal basin of the Caledonian Canal, Corpach was developed to house canal workers. It later became Fort William's industrial limb, with a short-lived shipbuilding yard and its most prominent landmark: the Pulp and Paper Mill at Annat, W. S. Atkins and Partners, 1963, the result of a government-backed initiative to bring employment to Lochaber in the 1960s. The Mill harnessed the enormous volumes of water discharged from the aluminium smelter, and helped secure the future of the railway.
